“Vote-By-Mail” Service at Westfield & Elizabeth Offices

Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi announces that a “One-Stop” service will soon be available for Union County voters at the Westfield and Elizabeth offices of the County Clerk.

“Beginning on Tuesday, May 1, eligible voters will be able to apply for a Vote-By-Mail ballot for the Presidential Primary Election in person at either one of my offices, receive their ballot and cast the ballot at the same time,” Ms. Rajoppi said.  “This one-stop voting service will be available at my Westfield office as well as at the main office in Elizabeth.”

“The service in Westfield and Elizabeth makes voting more accessible, particularly at the Westfield office with its convenient Saturday office hours and evening hours during the week,” Ms. Rajoppi added.  “With the important June 5 Presidential Primary Election just a few weeks away, my office is working to make the voting process as fast and convenient as we can for everyone who is registered to vote.”
