• Essex County Polling Places (This information was from the primary election in July. We will update it as new information becomes available.)
  
  • You will be receiving a postcard in the mail with information about where you can vote in person.
  • Some municipalities have multiple polling places, and others do not. This is based on population size and other factors.
  • If your postcard lists more than one polling place, you may cast your vote at ANY of them. Choose whichever is most convenient to you on Election Day.
  • Please note that some municipalities have more than one voting ward, so different postcards will be sent to different parts of town. For example, West Orange has one postcard (with one set of polling places) going to voters who live in the 10th Congressional District, and a different postcard (with a different set of polling places) going to voters who live in the 11th Congressional district. Montclair has two different postcards going out; Newark and Bloomfield each has four.
    
  • Depending on your voting ward, the heading above the polling-place list may include (from left to right):
    
    • the ballot number (there are 30 different ballot versions being used in Essex County, because of different Congressional districts and municipal elections. You can find your ballot number in the top right corner of your vote-by-mail ballot, before the name of your town.)
    • the municipality / town name
      
    • the ward (W) number
    • the Congressional District (CD) number
    • the Freeholder District (FD) number
  • This link includes ALL of the Essex County polling-places. They are shown by municipality, with towns listed in alphabetical order. Again, some municipalities have more than one postcard, so be sure to scroll to confirm you've found the correct one for your voting ward.
