TRENTON, NJ, April 24, 2024 – New Jersey is once again making it safe, simple, and secure for eligible voters to participate in the upcoming Primary Election on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, according to Lieutenant Governor Tahesha Way, who oversees the New Jersey Division of Elections in her capacity as Secretary of State. The state is providing three convenient ways to vote, with information on each available at VOTE.NJ.GOV:

1. At Polling Place on Primary Election Day
2. In-Person Early Voting
3. Using a Mail-in Ballot

“New Jersey’s eligible voters should know we continue to make it convenient to exercise their right to vote,” said Lieutenant Governor Way. “Whether they choose to participate in the early voting period, which is Wednesday, May 29 – Sunday, June 2, use a mail-in ballot, or come out on Election Day, voters can find all the information they need at vote.nj.gov. The website makes it easy to check everything from their registration status and polling place location, to county early voting sites and secure dropboxes. It’s a user-friendly experience.”

Acting Director of the Division of Elections Donna Barber noted that, “County clerks are sending mail-in ballots for this election to those voters who requested them, and voters can continue to request their ballot until Monday, June 3 at 3 p.m., the day before Election Day. Voters can also choose to vote during the five-day early voting period at any of their county early voting locations. Thousands of local polling places will be open for voters on Primary Election Day, Tuesday, June 4, as well.”

“No matter which way New Jersey voters choose to participate, we encourage every eligible voter to have an impact and vote in this year’s election,” said Lieutenant Governor Way.
