Early voting for the New Jersey Primary Election kicks off on Tuesday, May 26, and Burlington County voters will have an additional early voting location where they can securely cast their ballots in-person with a machine.
A total of 10 early voting locations will be open during the 6-day early voting period from May 26 through May 31.
The new early voting location is at the Hainesport Township Municipal Building, 1401 Marne Highway.
In addition to the new voting location, the early voting location in Mount Laurel on the campus of Rowan College at Burlington County has been moved to Votta Hall. In prior years, voting on the campus was at the Student Success Center next door.
“Voting is one of the most fundamental rights and we are pleased to provide Burlington County voters an additional polling location to use during the early voting period,” said Burlington County Election Board Chair Heather Cheesman. “The additional location will provide an additional option for voters who choose to cast their ballots during the early voting period when they have multiple days to go to the polls when it’s most convenient for them and their schedules.”
During the early voting period, voters from any of Burlington County’s 40 municipalities can go to any of the 10 early voting locations to cast their ballot with a machine. This is different from Primary Election Day on June 2 when voters must go to their assigned polling spot in their town of residence.
All 10 early voting locations will be open daily during the early voting period. The poll hours are 10 AM to 8 PM on May 26, May 27, May 28, May 29 and May 30, and 10 AM to 6 PM on the final day of early voting on Sunday, May 31.
All 10 early voting locations are as follows:
- Burlington Township at the Faith Deliverance Worship Center, 1304 Route 130 North, Burlington Township;
- Chesterfield at the Chesterfield Municipal Building, 295 Bordentown-Chesterfield Road, Chesterfield;
- Cinnaminson at the Cinnaminson Community Center, 902 Manor Road, Cinnaminson;
- Evesham at the Blue Barn Recreation Building, 1004 Tuckerton Road, Marlton;
- Hainesport at the Hainesport Township Municipal Building, 1401 Marne Highway, Hainesport;
- Medford at the Medford Town Hall, 49 Union Street, Medford;
- Mount Laurel at Rowan College at Burlington County, Votta Hall, 300 College Circle, Mount Laurel;
- Pemberton Township at the Pemberton Library, 16 Broadway, Browns Mills;
- Tabernacle at the Tabernacle Emergency Services Building, 134 New Road, Tabernacle;
- Willingboro at the Willingboro Public Library, 220 Willingboro Way, Willingboro.
Any registered voter is eligible to cast their ballot at an early voting location. However, only declared Republicans and Democrats may vote in the New Jersey Primary Election. Unaffiliated voters can participate by declaring a party affiliation with the Republican or Democratic party in advance of the election or at the polls during early voting or on Primary Election Day on June 2.
Declaration forms are available from the Burlington County Superintendent of Elections at https://www.co.burlington.nj.us/562/Voting-on-the-Primaries. Completed forms should be returned in-person to the Superintendent of Elections office at 301 Harper Drive, Moorestown or by mail to PO Box 6000, Mount Holly, NJ 08060
Voters who have already requested or received a vote-by-mail ballot may still vote in-person at an early voting location or Primary Election Day polling place, but they will need to vote on a provisional ballot to ensure that multiple votes are not cast by the same person. All valid provisional ballots are counted in the vote totals for each election.
Voters with questions about the election and voting process can call the Burlington County Elections hotline at 609-265-VOTE (8683).
