Track your completed and returned ballot here:
https://nj.gov/state/elections/vote-track-my-ballot.shtml
Why track your ballot?
To ensure the County Bd of Elections received it and to ensure it was not rejected for any reason. If your ballot is rejected for any reason, you will be contacted by the Bd of Elections, tracking it yourself will give you more time to correct the error so you can make sure your voice counts.
**if you return your ballot via USPS, tracking your ballot is imperative, evidenced by the CA postmaster that was caught illegally confiscating 350,000 mail in ballots in Sept 2026 - the most recent of several instances of USPS employees stopping ballots from ever reaching the Bd of Elections to be counted.
