Assistance at the Polls

Voters who are blind or disabled, or unable to read and write, are entitled to receive assistance at the polls. In any election any elderly or physically disabled voter assigned to an inaccessible polling place will, upon advance request of that voter, either be permitted to vote at the alternative, accessible polling place nearest to that voter's residence which has a common ballot or be provided with a civilian absentee ballot as an alternative means of casting a ballot on the day of election.

Persons desiring further information on assistance at the polls should contact their County Commissioner of Registration which is either the County Board of Elections or Superintendent of Elections. Any questions regarding absentee ballots should be directed to their County Clerk or the Division of Elections, NJ Department of State, 225 West State Street, 3rd Floor, P.O.
