Essex County Launches Phone App For Voters: 2024 Election

ESSEX COUNTY, NJ — The Essex County Clerk’s Office is launching a new phone app for local voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election, officials announced Monday.

The app – “Essex Votes” – will be available for Apple and Android devices via the Apple App or Google Play stores. It is intended to serve as a “one-stop hub” for election-related information, which county officials hope will increase voter engagement.

Essex County Clerk Christopher Durkin said the new app – which will have support in multiple languages – is a significant step forward for both accessibility and convenience.

“With the increasing reliance on mobile technology, this app ensures that voters have all the information they need at their fingertips,” Durkin said.

“Ensuring that every eligible voter can participate in the electoral process is a top priority,” Durkin added.

According to the clerk's office, some features of the new app include:

• Poll Worker Information - Detailed information for those interested in becoming poll workers, including application procedures, training schedules, and responsibilities.
• Election Results - Real-time updates and results for local, state, and federal elections, ensuring that voters are always informed.
• Polling Locations - Easy-to-navigate maps and directions to polling places based on the user's current location or registered address.
• Voter Registration - Access to the voter registration website enabling new voters to register quickly and easily.
• Election News and Updates - Latest news, updates, and important announcements related to elections in Essex County.
