Am I registered to vote?
If you think you may have already registered to vote but are not sure of your voter registration status, you may check to see if you are registered to vote at the New Jersey Division of Elections web site.
How to register
For your convenience, we have made the Voter Registration Application available online. Once you have filled out the application, you can print it out and send it to the Sussex County Board of Elections—it is a self-mailer, meaning it is already stamped and addressed.
You can register to vote at any time throughout the year but be aware that the registration deadline to vote in the next election is 21 days prior to election day.
Where to vote
Are you unsure where you should vote? Find your election polling location based on your address. You can vote in person at your designated polling location (see below) or vote by mail.
To vote by mail, download and complete the Application for Vote by Mail Ballot . Once you have filled out the application, you can print it out and send it to the Sussex County Clerk—it is a self-mailer and already addressed but you will need to supply your own postage stamp. Note that your application must be received by the county clerk 7 days prior to the election. Also note that once you apply for a mail-in ballot, you will not be permitted to cast your vote at your designated polling location in the same election.
