Vote-By-Mail Drop Box Coming To Belmar

BELMAR – A mail-in ballot drop box will be set up in Belmar.

The Monmouth County Board of Chosen Freeholders has announced the mail-in ballot drop box locations, as per the Governor’s Executive Order No. 177, for the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

“Regardless of the State mandated changes, it is essential to have your vote counted for the General Election,” said Freeholder Lillian G. Burry, liaison to the Board of Elections. “On November 3, there will be limited in-person polling locations with only paper ballots available. Because of the state mandates, residents will need to utilize the 17 mail-in ballot drop boxes throughout the County to deposit your mail-in ballot.”

All registered voters do not need to submit a vote-by-mail application; however, voters will receive mail-in ballots for voting in the 2020 general election.

Sample ballots will not be mailed for the election. Instead, the County Clerk’s Office will send a postcard to voters indicating their polling location for the 2020 General Election. A sample ballot will be available online at monmouthcountyvotes.com.

Limited in-person polling locations will be open on Election Day. Voting machines will be unavailable, except for ADA-accessible ballot marking devices.

Registered and active voters can deposit their completed mail-in ballot in a drop box by 8 p.m. on Nov. 3 at the following location:

• Belmar: Borough of Belmar Municipal Building, 601 Main Street, Belmar
