Burlington
County Clerk Joanne Schwartz wants to remind voters that they should watch for
their mail-in ballots for the July 7, 2020 Primary Election.
“Mail-In
Ballots have been sent to more than 195,000 registered Democrat and Republican
voters,” said Schwartz. “The ballots will arrive in mailboxes this week.”
Governor
Murphy’s Executive Order 144 declared that the Primary Election will be
conducted primarily by mail. Voters who have not affiliated with a political
party and Republican or Democrat voters who need to verify their address
information, will be sent a Vote By Mail Application specific to this election
which will require them to signify which political party ballot they wish to
receive when they return the application.
To
vote in this Primary Election, they will have to fill out and return this
special application even if they have previously sent in an “All Future
Elections” request pursuant to the Governor’s Executive Order.
The
County Clerk asks that residents please return their ballot as soon as possible
in the postage paid envelope. Stamps are not required. Ballots
returned by mail must be postmarked no later than 8:00 pm on July 7,
2020.
