CHATHAM, NJ—Although the General Election is slated to be conducted primarily by mail and polling places have been reduced due to the coronavirus pandemic, the county announced the polling locations for those who prefer to vote in person. Chatham Township residents may vote in person from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 3, at the Long Hill Chapel's Weber Hall at 535 Shunpike Rd. Chatham Borough voters can cast ballots at the Chatham Middle School gym at 480 Main St. Accommodations are available at both locations for those with disabilities. The county clerk said all voters are strongly encouraged to vote by mail, and those that vote in person will utilize a provisional (paper) ballot. You can see a list of ballot drop boxes here. On Aug. 29, 2020, Gov. Murphy signed legislation to pivot New Jersey from primarily in-person to mail-in voting. "COVID-19 has caused us to re-evaluate the way we typically hold our elections," said Murphy when he signed the bill. "Even in the face of a pandemic, we are firmly committed to ensuring a safe and inclusive general election."
