How do I register to vote?

Official, hard copy applications for registration can be obtained from the following:

NJ Division of Elections
P.O. Box 304

Essex County Commissioner of Registration
Hall of Records Room 429
465 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd
Newark, NJ 07102

Municipal Clerk's Office

You may also print a registration application and after entering required data, mail it to the Commissioner of Registration Office address shown below. In addition, this form can be used for name and address changes. The Commissioner of Registration cannot accept faxed copies or an electronic transmission of a voter registration form since an original signature is required. The registrant must download the form and send the hard copy to the Commissioner of Registration. The registration deadline to vote at the next election is 21 days prior to election day.

The Voter Registration Applications can be either dropped off at the Borough Clerk’s Office or mailed to:
