FREEHOLD, NJ – Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon is advising voters who are enrolled to automatically receive mail-in ballots and no longer want to vote by mail that September 5 is the deadline to opt out of receiving mail-in ballots for the 2024 General Election

These voters can opt out by completing the Vote-by-Mail Opt-Out form¾available on the MonmouthCountyVotes.com website and “Monmouth County Votes” mobile app¾and submitting it to the County Clerk’s Election Office no later than September 5.

After September 5, voters who are enrolled to receive mail-in ballots will be unable to vote in person on a machine, but they may still vote during Early Voting or on Election Day via provisional paper ballots.

In addition to voting by mail, New Jersey voters have the option to cast their ballots for the 2024 General Election in person during Early Voting at one of the County’s 10 designated polling locations from October 26 through November 3, or the traditional way of voting in person on Election Day, November 5, at their assigned polling location.

I’ve had my dream job of waking up with all the great listeners and members of Brookdale Public Radio since January 3, 2005. Prior to this job, I began my career in radio at NJ 101.5 FM as a producer. From there, I took time off from radio to do other things. (including becoming a mom!)
