EDUCATE . ENGAGE . EMPOWER
Educate
The three focus areas are: elections, clean energy, and about serving on the local Board of Education. We provide information and education on all three areas.
Engage
We provide effective actions such as voter registration kits, clean energy events and fact sheets from our coalition partners, and hold webinars on how to run for the Board of Education.
Empower
Through awareness and knowledge of the three core focus areas, we give power to people to make a difference: by being civically engaged, by running for the Board of Education, or by signing up for community solar.
Our recommendation:
We believe that Vote By Mail gives New Jersey voters the best peace of mind and is the most convenient option. You will have 45 days (the longest in the nation) to consider your candidates and to vote. Who knows how the lines will be at the polls this election?
However, you should know your options should you want to vote in person instead. There are two clear choices and that depends on you to act now.
If you want to vote in person using a voting machine, you must OPT OUT of VBM by contacting your County Clerk in writing. Most counties have Opt Out forms on their website. If you miss the deadline, you will only be allowed to vote in person using a provisional ballot. In this case, we highly recommend you to vote using your VBM ballot. It’s the same paper ballot and you can drop it off at ballot drop box and track it online using Track My Ballot.
If you wait and vote in person using a provisional ballot, no worries! Your ballot will be canvassed! Our New Jersey county elections staff are ready for whichever option you decide.
