Civilian Absentee Ballot Application
Click here to download the Application

In New Jersey, any voter can now vote by Absentee Ballot for any election. You do not need a reason to vote by Absentee Ballot. Don't feel like going to the polls? Simply vote by mail. Now there is "no excuse" not to vote!

A voter may apply for an absentee ballot by completing an Absentee Ballot Application (see below) and mailing the application to their County Clerk by mail up to 7 days prior to the election. A voter may also apply in person to the County Clerk until 3:00 p.m., the day before the election. The County Clerk cannot accept faxed copies of an Absentee Ballot Application since an original signature is required.

Note: The Application is an Adobe PDF file and must be printed, completed and mailed to the following address:

Mercer County Clerk
Election Department
P.O. Box 8068
Trenton, NJ 08650-0068
