Livingston: Nov. 3 Election Is Mainly A Vote-By-Mail Election – Patch.com

Sept. 18, 2020

Due to COVID-19, Governor Phil Murphy has signed Executive Order 177 stating that voting in New Jersey will be done by mail.

The only exceptions to the Vote-By-Mail (VBM) requirement will be those who are visually impaired. Specialized voting booths will be at selected locations for individuals who require auditory assistance in order to vote.

Every registered Republican and Democratic voter will automatically be mailed a Vote-By-Mail (VBM) Ballot for the November 3 General Election.

Unaffiliated/undeclared voters will be mailed an application to request a VBM Ballot.

Livingston will have 2 polling places open on November 3:

  • Livingston Senior/Community Center – 204 Hillside Avenue, Lower Level, Tahaney Room 2
  • Livingston Town Hall – 357 S. Livingston Avenue, First Floor

These two polling places will only provide:

  1. ADA-compliant visually impaired audio voting
  2. Provisional paper ballots

Please note that the Provisional Paper Ballot is similar to a VBM Ballot.

All are urged to use their VBM Ballot. Provisional Ballots are counted last and must be checked against the VBM Ballots that have already been cast before they are accepted and canvassed.

Returning Your VBM Ballot

VBM Ballots can be mailed at the Post Office, placed in a standard mailbox, or placed in an Essex County Mail-In Ballot Drop-Off Box.

The Ballot Box in Livingston will be located at Livingston Town Hall, 357 S. Livingston Avenue.
