Besides remaining open late on Oct. 14, the Superintendent of Elections Office will offer hands-on tutorials and demonstrations of the county voting machines that evening from 4 to 7 p.m. in the Harper Drive building. Elections staff will also be available to answer questions and assist with other election-related matters, including the different methods of voting and how to update voter registration information.
In-person demonstrations of the voting machines and elections outreach will also continue to be available twice-a-week at the County Corner Store location at 1020 Briggs Road in Mount Laurel. The demonstrations are available on Wednesdays from 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. until the start of the in-person early voting period on Oct. 25.
“Our nation’s democracy works best and is strongest when we all participate in it, so we’re encouraging all eligible U.S. citizens who aren’t yet registered to do so before the deadline and learn about the different ways to cast your ballot,” said Burlington County Superintendent of Elections Dawn Marie Addiego. “You can vote by drop box, mail or with a machine either during the early voting period or on Election Day. All these methods are safe and secure, but it all begins with being registered. It is the first step to making sure your voice is heard.”
An eligible Burlington County voter must be a U.S. citizen who is at least 17 years old (though you may not vote until you have reached the age of 18) and be a resident of Burlington County for at least 30 days before the Nov. 4 General Election date.
Voters can also register online at https://nj.gov/state/elections/voter-registration.shtml or obtain a paper voter registration form that can be mailed to the Superintendent of Elections Office. All completed registration forms must arrive at the office before closing on Oct. 14 for the voter to be eligible to participate in the upcoming election.
