Here's Where You Can Vote Early In Burlington County

BURLINGTON COUNTY, NJ — Burlington County has designated seven sites for early in-person voting as the new system takes effect with this year’s elections, officials announced.

Earlier this year, Gov. Phil Murphy signed legislation into law that permits registered voters to cast their ballots in person, using a voting machine, nine days before Election Day.

Early voting will run from Oct. 23-31, and Election Day is Nov. 2. The approved early voting sites in Burlington County are:

• Chesterfield at the Chesterfield Township Municipal Building, 295 Bordentown-Chesterfield Road;

• Evesham at the Gibson House Community Center, 535 East Main Street, Marlton;

• Medford at the Medford Town Hall, 49 Union Street;

• Mount Laurel at Rowan College at Burlington County Student Success Center, 1500 College Circle;

• Pemberton Township at the Pemberton Community Library, 16 Broadway, Browns Mills;

• Tabernacle at the EMS Building, 81 Hawkin Road;

• Willingboro at the Willingboro Public Library, 220 Campbell Drive.

These sites are open to anyone in the county. The sites are spread across the county and were selected by the bipartisan Burlington County Election Board.

Polls will be open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
Registered voters are not required to make appointments, but those who are registered to vote-by-mail must opt out from receiving a Vote-by-Mail ballot to vote in-person at either an early voting location or their regular polling site. They have until Sept. 10 to opt-out.

Burlington County also purchased new electronic voting machines with a voter-verifiable paper trail, as required under the new law. The county also acquired new electronic poll books for use at all in-person voting sites.

“All the new equipment is state-of-the-art and highly secure,” Burlington County Board of Elections Chair Joseph Dugan said. “Voters can rest assured that our county is taking all the necessary steps to prepare for this new additional way to participate in our democracy.”

Voters can check their registration and status online at Vote.NJ.Gov under the “Am I Registered?” tab. Opt-out forms can be found online at the following link: http://www.co.burlington.nj.us/DocumentCenter/View/1248/Vote-by-Mail-Removal-Request.

Completed forms should be dropped off or mailed to:
Honorable Joanne Schwartz
Burlington County Clerk-Elections
50 Rancocas Road, 3rd Floor, P.O. Box 6000,
Mount Holly, NJ, 08060.

For information about opting out of receiving a Vote-by-Mail ballot, call the Burlington County Clerk’s Office at 609-265-5229.

Voters interested in voting by mail continue to have that option and can return their completed paper ballots via the mail, secure drop boxes or in-person to the Burlington County Election Board offices at 50 Rancocas Street, Mount Holly.

Completed vote-by-mail must be postmarked or placed in secure drop box or submitted to the Election Board office on or before 8 p.m. on Election Day. However, completed vote-by-mail ballots will noy be accepted at regular polling sites for the November election.

“Voting is secure, easy and more accessible and convenient than ever,” Burlington County Commissioner Linda Hynes, liaison to Elections, said. “You can vote early or on Election Day or by mail, drop box or hand delivery. It doesn’t matter how you vote, the most important thing is that you do, and we hope all voters will take the time to exercise that right.”
