Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 7, but voters don’t have to wait until then to go to the polls in Ocean County.

Of course, New Jersey has allowed vote-by-mail for years; in fact, Ocean County has encouraged it to make sure snowbirds, a.k.a. folks who head to warmer climes in the winter, could vote. Then drop-off boxes were introduced. And in 2021 it added another option, early voting on machines.
