EARLY VOTING COMING SOON!

As we approach Early Voting (Starts on Saturday, October 23) we wanted to share with you a new video (Click here for the video) we have produced to educate voters on the new technology that will be used for e-Poll Books and voting machines at the 10 Early Voting sites throughout Ocean County.  The e-poll books will also be used at all polling sites on Tuesday, November 2, General Election Day as well.

In addition to the video, please visit www.oceancountyclerk.com for a vast amount of information and forms to assist voters in the upcoming election.  Specifically, we have more helpful videos on Voting by mail, Early Voting as well as copies of all of the Sample Ballots that will be mailed to voters on October 20th, locations and hours for Early Voting sites and Vote by Mail Drop Box locations.

The responsibilities of the Municipal Clerk vary throughout the State of New Jersey because in many municipalities the duties depend upon the number of employees/departments or the type or form of government within the municipality.
