“One of the most fundamental rights in America and all democracies is the right to vote , and Burlington County residents have more ways to exercise that right than ever before , ” said Joseph Dugan , chairman of the Burlington County Election Board . “We want voters to know that however they choose to cast their ballot – by mail or with a machine – the system is secure and all votes will be counted . ”

Voters interested in voting early with a Vote - by - Mail ballot can still request one from the Clerk’s website at
