WOODBRIDGE, NJ — Election Day 2020 is here! You cannot machine vote at the polls on Nov. 3 unless you have a documented disability.
Even if you go to your regular polling place to vote, you will only be able to vote via a provisional ballot (paper ballot) and they count provisional ballots last, after all the mail-in and machine votes have been counted. County clerks across New Jersey have said the best way to vote is drop your sealed ballot in a ballot drop box — Don't forget to sign it.
You have until 8 p.m. Tuesday night to drop your vote in the secure ballot box at the Woodbridge Municipal Building 1 Main St., Woodbridge Drop Box is curbside. Adjacent to north side of main entrance stairs to town hall.

Ballot drop boxes are collected and returned directly to the Middlesex County Board of Elections office. These ballots are only handled by designated Board of Elections representatives.
If you are mailing it, you must put the ballot in the mail today so it is postmarked Nov. 3.

There is no municipal election in Woodbridge in 2020. There are three seats up for election this fall on the Woodbridge Board of Education, and the three BOE members who currently fill them are running to keep the seats.
There are no challengers. The incumbents running for re-election are:
- Frank DellaPietro, current BOE president
- Marie Anderson, current BOE vice president
- Brian Molnar, current Board member
All three are asking voters to approve them for three more years on the Woodbridge Board of Education.
In addition to the presidential race, voters in New Jersey will be asked statewide questions such as whether New Jersey voters want to legalize marijuana and whether to make peacetime veterans eligible to receive the veterans' property tax deduction. For more on marijuana legalization, click here.
