Statewide Vote by Mail LawA new law signed by Governor Phil Murphy in August drastically changed the Vote by Mail rules in New Jersey. These changes are effective immediately and will impact the November General Election.
One of the changes involves how a voter can apply for a Mail-In Ballot. Before the change in the law, a voter had three options on the application. The voter could opt to receive a Mail-In Ballot for one election, all elections in one calendar year, and all future general elections.
Now, a voter has only two options for voting by mail. A voter can request a Mail-In Ballot for one election or for all elections every year until the voter opts out in writing. Voters can download the updated Vote by Mail application here.
Most importantly, all voters who requested and received a Mail-In Ballot during the 2016 General Election are now due to receive a Mail-In Ballot for the 2018 General Election and all future elections unless they have opted out by returning a form that was mailed to those voters in early September.
Please click here to download a form that you may complete and either e-mail, fax or mail to opt out of receiving a Mail-In Ballot for all future elections, following the upcoming General Election.
It is important to remember that, according to State law, any voter who receives a Mail-In Ballot will not be permitted to vote on a voting machine on Election Day. Voters will either have to utilize the Mail-In Ballot they receive or vote on a paper provisional ballot at the polls on Election Day.
QUESTIONS on the Vote by Mail process or about the new law?? Contact the Elections Division at 973-285-6066 or MorrisCountyClerkElections@co.morris.nj.us

WE HAD A CPR SAVE! Recently we had a patient who went into cardiac arrest and stopped breathing. With the help of our police officers and members on scene, they began CPR until the ambulance arrived within 6 minutes with the LUCAS machine, which provides accurate compressions simultaneously while we are giving breathes. Advanced Life Support (ALS) arrived and did what they do best and collaboratively, regained a pulse. Great job by Patrolmen Paul Segro and Jesus Nolasco and squad members Joe Giannetto, Casey Cox and Ruth Poskitt as well as Atlantic Health (Chilton) Paramedics. This successful call would not be have been possible without the collaborative effort of all! SAVE THE DATE: Lincoln Park EMS Tricky Tray – APRIL 4, 2019 at the Bethwood in Totowa. Keep an eye out for ticket sales! CPR CLASSES: Interested in attending a CPR class? Contact us at 973-694-3304 x2910 and leave a message. And FINALLY…THANK YOU!! Many thanks to all of you who have supported and continue to support our great organization. Your donations during our recent solicitations is GREATLY appreciated.
