Services in this hub
- A Mail-In Ballot’s Journey (opens document) Download the Clerk's illustrated handout on what happens after you mail or drop a vote-by-mail ballot. Use it if you want a plain walkthrough of intake, signature check, and counting—handy for classrooms, campaigns, or observers.
- Election Security Rumor vs. Reality (opens external site) Click through to CISA Rumor vs. Reality site when you want a federal fact-check on election-security claims. It is not a county complaint form; bring a local counting or ballot question back to elections@bergencountynj.gov.
- Frequently Asked Questions (opens external site) This tile leaves the county site for the state's voting FAQ, covering registration, ID, mail-in ballots, and Election Day rules that apply statewide. Use the Clerk's own vote-by-mail FAQ if your question is only about a Bergen County ballot.
- How to Spot Fake News (opens external site) Open a short checklist graphic on spotting false news before you share an election claim. It is a reminder sheet, not a Clerk investigation page—report a local voting problem to the Elections Division instead.
- Observing Ballot Counting (opens email) Want to watch ballots being counted? This tile opens your email client to elections@bergencountynj.gov so you can ask about observer rules and times. Say which election and whether you are a campaign representative or a member of the public.
- OPRA Requests (Vote by Mail Request Lists, Petitions, etc.) (opens external site) File a public-records request for vote-by-mail applicant lists, petitions, or other election files through the county OPRA portal. You leave this site; have the election date and the record type ready so the request is not bounced for being too vague.
- Request to Become a Challenger (opens external site) Campaigns and parties appoint challengers through the Board of Elections, not the Clerk. This tile sends you to that board's challenger instructions so you can apply before the deadline for the next election.
