Corrected Voting Info for Residents Displaced by Hurricane Sandy

A Wyckoff resident reported at a township meeting Monday night that some of the information sent to Wyckoff officials by the county was incorrect, linking residents to non-existent pages.

A copy of the "Application for Vote by Mail Ballot" is attached to this story for your convenience as well.

(Please note: The application specifies not to email or fax unless you're a military or overseas voter. While this is normally correct, the executive order signed by Gov. Chris Christie allows for displaced voters to email or fax this form in this year's election.)

Below is the corrected information, links and instructions:

E-Mail and Fax Voting to New Jersey Residents Displaced by Hurricane Sandy

The New Jersey Department of State issued a directive to county elections officials to permit New Jersey registered voters displaced by Hurricane Sandy to vote electronically.  This directive also is intended to assist displaced first responders, whose tireless recovery efforts away from home has made voting a challenge.

To vote electronically, displaced voters may submit a mail-in ballot application either by e-mail or fax to their county clerk.

1. Go to: http://www.state.nj.us/state/elections/voting-information-vote-by-mail.html
