The New Jersey Department of State has issued a directive today to county elections officials to permit New Jersey registered voters displaced by Hurricane Sandy to vote electronically. This directive also is intended to assist displaced first responders, whose tireless recovery efforts away from home has made voting a challenge.

To do this, displaced voters can submit a mail-in ballot application by email or fax to their county clerk.

Once approved, the clerk will then send a ballot to the voter. Ballots must be returned by November 6th at 8 p.m.

Voters can download a mail-in ballot application for their county by visiting http://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-vote-by-mail.html.

A list of county clerk websites, phone numbers and fax numbers are available by visiting http://nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-local-officials.html.

Information is also available by calling 1-877-NJVOTER.
