The state will not be automatically sending mail-in ballots to every registered voter for this election, NJ.com reported in March.

All regular polling places will be open for residents to cast their votes on voting machines, Governor Murphy said in a statement.

If you voted by mail, track your mail ballot to ensure it’s been received.

If you requested a mail ballot but never received it — or decide you’d rather vote in person, you can still vote at your local polling place. You’ll be required to cast a provisional ballot.
