FREEHOLD, NJ - To help ensure your ballot is properly collected and counted this November, Monmouth County is installing 17 ballot drop boxes in municipalities throughout the region. In August, Governor Phil Murphy made the decision to make the upcoming Nov. 3 primarily vote-by-mail. Voters will have several options when it comes to getting their ballot in: mail it back, drop it off at a polling location on Nov. 3 or use one of the new drop boxes. Expect to start getting mailed ballots soon. All registered voters can deposit their completed mail-in ballot in a drop box by 8 p.m. on Nov. 3 at the following locations: AberdeenAberdeen Municipal Building1 Aberdeen Square, Aberdeen, NJ 07747 AllentownAllentown Borough Hall8 North Main St., P.O.

"If you feel strongly about going to the polls on Election Day, Nov. 3, I encourage you to bring your completed mail-in ballot and simply drop it off. Since everyone wants timely results from this election, I encourage all voters to return their mail in ballots for counting as soon as they receive them."
