2. Use a secure Ballot Drop Box– Ballot Drop Boxes will be closed and locked at 8 PM on Tuesday, November 7, 2023.
3. In-Person Deadline to deliver your Mail-In Ballot in-person to the County Clerk at 10 Court Street in Morristown is by 8 PM on November 7, 2023. See instructions for in-person delivery.
You can use any Drop Box located in Morris County – (Mount Olive has one conveniently located in the Municipal Building Parking Lot)

Mail-In Ballot voters can change their mind and not use their paper ballot to vote.
You can go to your assigned polling place and vote in person using a paper ballot, which is called a “Provisional Ballot”. The Provisional Ballot will be processed once all Mail-In Ballots have been received and tabulated. This security process ensures that voters do not vote more than once in any election.
