Primary Election In South Brunswick: When, Where To Vote

SOUTH BRUNSWICK, NJ – Primary Election day in New Jersey is June 6, and voters have various options to cast their ballots.

There are no contested elections for Mayor, Council or Board in South Brunswick. Residents will be voting for County Commissioners, Senate and Assembly seats. Click here for the sample ballot.

Residents have multiple options for casting their ballots in the June 2023 Primary Election. They include mailing ballots through the United States Postal Service (USPS); dropping a ballot in any secure drop box across the County; three days of in-person early voting at any early vote locations in the County; or voting in person on Primary Election Day, June 6

Unaffiliated registered voters may choose to vote in either the Democratic Primary Election or the Republican Primary Election. If voting in person, either early or on Primary Election Day, an unaffiliated voter will declare their party affiliation at the polls before voting in the Primary Election.

Due to new state law, only registered Democratic and Republican voters are eligible to receive a mail-in ballot for the Primary Election.

“With multiple ways to cast your vote, from early in-person voting and Vote by Mail options to traditional Primary Election Day in-person voting, Middlesex County is committed to making it as convenient as possible for residents to participate in democracy. Voters should avail themselves of the option that best fits their needs,” Middlesex County Clerk Nancy J. Pinkin said.

Voters may apply for a Mail-In Ballot in person or by authorized messenger at the Office of the County Clerk in New Brunswick up to 3 pm on Monday, June 5.
