Voting in New Jersey

New Jersey offers the convenience of voting by mail. It was a necessity at the beginning of the pandemic, and because I checked the box to continue, I receive an official ballot for every election.

It’s especially practical for residents with children (or grandchildren) in the public schools. Teacher Convention Week coincides with election day, and has always been a popular time for family travel. Because the livelihood for many of us is connected to tourism, a summer break is often not practical.

When our sons were young, I would arrange for an absentee ballot if we had a November trip planned. The automatic mailer saves that step.

I will drop off my completed ballot this week to the secure election box. Done!
