Primary Vote By Mail Packages Have a New Look
Election Information
Due to a recent change in USPS postmark policy, letters will no longer be postmarked upon drop-off at a post office or postal box, but rather when processed through the USPS system. This change may result in delayed receipt of your mail. For anything time-sensitive, it is now safer to go inside the post office and request a hand-stamped postmark rather than simply dropping your mail in a box. Alternatively, voted Vote By Mail Ballots may be left in any drop box before 8PM on election day. See links on this page for a listing of Bergen County Election Drop Boxes.
Voter Registration
Voters may register to vote at any time; however, to vote in a specific election, registration must be completed at least 21 days before a specific election. The registration deadline for the 2026 Primary Election is Tuesday, May 12, 2026.
