Early Voting Through Vote by Mail

The County Clerk’s Office will begin mailing out Vote-by-Mail ballots to voters on the permanent Vote-by-Mail list and to voters who recently requested to receive a Vote-by-Mail ballot 45 days before an election. Mailing of Vote-by-Mail ballots for the 2026 General Elections will begin on September 19, 2026. There are three ways to return your Vote-by-Mail ballot:

  • Mail: It must be postmarked on or before 8:00 p.m. Election Day, November 3rd, and be received by the Middlesex County Board of Elections on or before 6 days after Election Day. To make sure your ballot is postmarked on time, put your ballot in the mail at least a few days before election day, or go up to the counter at a U.S. Post Office and have a clerk manually stamp the postmark on your ballot envelope.
  • Secure Drop Box: Place it in one of Middlesex County’s 34 secure drop box locations by 8:00 p.m. Election Day. For Cranbury residents, the closest drop box is located in front of the Cranbury Police Department (One Logan Drive, Cranbury, NJ).
  • Board of Elections Office: Deliver it in person to the Middlesex Board of Elections Office by 8:00 p.m. Election Day (26 Kennedy Boulevard, Suite B, East Brunswick, NJ 08816).

To ensure your ballot is received and processed in a timely manner, we strongly recommend you place your Vote-by-Mail ballot in a ballot drop box instead of mailing it. Placing it in a drop-box ensures your ballot will be picked up and delivered directly to the Board of Elections without going through the U.S. Postal Service.

You can check whether or not you should be receiving a Vote-by-Mail ballot by looking up your voter profile on the NJ Division of Elections website.

If you have not received your Vote-by-Mail ballot by October 1, 2026, fill out and send in a replacement ballot request form before November 1, 2026, to receive a replacement Vote-by-Mail ballot. Call the County Clerk’s Office (732-745-4202) if you have questions about receiving a Vote-by-Mail ballot.
