Voters who have previously requested a Vote By Mail (VBM) ballot should have received their ballot from the Hudson County Clerk.

To submit your completed VBM, there are two primary options – placing the ballot in the mail, or one of two secure election drop boxes:

• Return your VBM by placing it in your nearest mailbox using the U.S. Postal Service. The ballot must be postmarked on or before Tuesday, Jan. 25 and received by the Board of Elections.
• There are also two secure ballot drop box locations in Hoboken where you can drop off your ballot; one at Hoboken City Hall at 94 Washington St. on Newark Street, and a drop box at the Stevens University Gateway Building at Hudson Street and Sixth Street. If you submit your mail-in ballot using a drop box, you must return the ballot on or before Tuesday, Jan. 25, before 8 p.m. ‍
