Considering the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Governor Murphy signed P.L. 2020, c. 72 which requires County Clerks to send all active registered voters a Vote-by-Mail Ballot for the November 3, 2020 General Election.

Here is some important information on how you can vote in the upcoming General Election of Tuesday, November 4th. 

Register to Vote:  Last day to register to vote was Tuesday, October 13th.

Vote by Mail:  Many Plumsted residents have received their Vote-by-Mail ballots.  Please be sure to review your Township of Plumsted Vote-by-Mail ballot for accuracy.  Should you feel the information is incorrect, please contact the Ocean County Clerk's Office at 732-929-2018.  

Voters who have misplaced, damaged or did not receive a Vote-by-Mail Ballot may seek assistance in-person from our County Clerk Election Staff at the Mancini Room of the Ocean County Library located at 101 Washington Street in Toms River. Staff is available 8am until 4:30pm Mon thru Fri and we will be open on Monday, October 12th, Columbus Day, 9am until 4pm.

Where Can I Vote? 

Fill out the Vote-by-Mail Ballot you receive and return it:

On Election Day, only disabled voters who are unable to fill out a Vote-By-Mail ballot may cast a ballot on a voting machine.  Should you visit the polling place on Election Day, you will be given a provisional, paper ballot.  Provisional ballots will not be counted until 7 days after the election as it must be cross-checked to be sure a Vote-By-Mail ballot wasn't previously received. 

All Vote-by-Mail Ballots must be returned no later than 8PM on November 3rd, Election Day.  If your Vote-By-Mail Ballot is received prior to Election Day, it will be included in the tally at the close of polls on Election night after 8 pm.

Want to see if your Vote-by-Mail Ballot was received?   Call 1-877-NJ-VOTER or check it online here: https://www.nj.gov/state/elections/vote.shtml
