Burlington County election officials are reminding residents who planning to vote in the June 10 primary election to be aware of changes to some polling locations and voting districts.
Sample ballots have been mailed to all registered voters who have not requested a vote-by-mail ballot or did not return it by May 20 and should be arriving soon. Voters are advised to bring their sample ballot with them to the polls on election day for a faster check-in.
All voters should check their polling location and voting district on their sample ballot, especially voters in Chesterfield, Medford, Mount Laurel, Shamong and Southampton. The voting district boundaries in each of those five towns were redrawn to ensure that the number of registered voters in each district is appropriate.
In Chesterfield, there are now four voting districts, up from two in 2024. Medford now has 20 districts, an increase from 17 in 2024. Mount Laurel now has 36 districts, an increase from 27 in 2024. In Shamong, boundaries have changed, but there are still four voting districts. Southampton now has eight districts, an increase from six last year.
The Election Board also made changes to some polling locations in Bordentown Township, Burlington City, Evesham and Pemberton. Voters in Bordentown Township’s districts 4, 5 and 8 have been moved to the Bordentown Armory Building, 1048 Route 206 South, Bordentown. Voters in Burlington City Ward 4, District 1 will now cast ballots at the Tabernacle Baptist Church at 150 East 2nd St.
Voters in Evesham districts 17, 18 and 25 have been moved to the Blue Barn Recreation Facility at 1004 Tuckerton Road, and those in districts 20 and 22 have been relocated to Marlton Middle School. Voters in Pemberton Township districts 1, 2 and 3 will now cast ballots at the township senior center at 300 Brooks St.
Voters can find their voting district and polling location on their sample ballot. An online search tool is also available at https://www.nj.gov/state/elections/vote-polling-location.shtml.
Voters are also advised to bring their sample ballot with them to the polls on Election Day for a faster check-in.
Early voting
Voters are also reminded that they have the option to vote early with a machine at any of nine early-voting locations that will open daily during the six-day early voting period from June 3 through June 8. A complete list of all nine early voting locations is available at https://www.co.burlington.nj.us/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=2468.
Any registered voter from any county town is eligible to cast a ballot at any early-voting location in the county, but only declared Republicans and Democrats can cast ballots in the state primary. 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 Election Day.
Vote by mail
Registered voters from either party can still request a vote-by-mail (VBM) ballot from the county clerk’s office now until 3 p.m. on Monday. Vote-by-mail applications are available online at https://www.co.burlington.nj.us/996/Vote-by-Mail-Information.
All requests for a vote-by-mail ballot in the mail were to be received by the clerk’s office no later than June 3. Now, registered voters must go in person to the clerk’s office at either the county elections building, 301 Harper Drive in Moorestown, or 50 Rancocas Road, Mount Holly, to request a ballot. The final day to request and receive a vote-by-mail ballot in person is Monday at 3 p.m.
Completed VBM ballots can be placed in any of 29 secure drop boxes located throughout the county. A list of them is available at https://www.co.burlington.nj.us/2102/Secure-Ballot-Drop-Boxes.
Voters may hand deliver VBM ballots directly to the county Board of Elections office, also at 301 Harper Drive in Moorestown, or send them to the office via the U.S. Postal Service. All completed ballots must be postmarked, placed in a secure drop box, or hand-delivered to the Election Board before polls close at 8 p.m. on Tuesday.
Voters with questions about the election and voting process can call the Burlington County Elections hotline at (609) 265-VOTE (8683).
