Sample ballots for the 2024 General Election are on their way to the mailboxes of thousands of Burlington County voters, and election officials are advising those voters to keep and bring them to their polling spots. It should save them time checking in on Election Day.
Voters who arrive at the polls without their sample ballot will still be permitted to vote with machines. Poll workers will look up their name and address to confirm their registration and ensure they vote with the correct ballot.
More than 300,000 sample ballots are being mailed to all registered voters who have not yet returned a vote-by-mail ballot. Voters who believe they did not receive one in error should contact the Burlington County Clerk’s Office at (609) 265-5122.
In addition to the bar code for check-in, the sample ballot contains a voter’s polling location and an image of what their ballot looks like, including the candidates for elected offices and any special questions up for vote.
Copies of all towns’ sample ballots are available online at https://www.co.burlington.nj.us/1172/Sample-Ballots.
The sample ballots also contain a web address for an online How to Vote video that explains the process of voting with new machines being deployed to all polling locations during the early voting period and on Election Day. The video can also be viewed on the Burlington County Election Services located here: https://www.co.burlington.nj.us/593/Election-Voter-Services.
Voters with questions can also call the Burlington County Elections hotline at (609) 265-VOTE (8683).
