July 3: Mayor Madden's Weekly Message

Weekly Report from Mayor John L. Madden

Governor Murphy's executive order #144 has ordered that the Primary Election be held on July 7, 2020. It will be a mail in ballot or provisional (paper) ballot only. There will be no voting machines for the general public's use. Provisional ballots are paper ballots used to record a vote at the polls. This type of ballot is cast by a voter whose eligibility to vote cannot be confirmed or proven.
All voters who received vote by mail ballots please return your ballot via postage paid envelope which was provided.

If you did not receive a ballot and wish to vote provisional (paper ballot that you manually fill out – no voting machines) there are two locations available. For your convenience, you can go to either location.

• Mauger Middle School, Fisher Avenue (Gorman Gym)

• Middlesex High School, 300 Kennedy Drive (High School Gym)

Voters with a writing disability or any questions, please call the Borough Clerk at 732-356-7400 ext. 238.

Please mark your calendar for July 18, 2020: Parker Fire House is hosting a blood and platelet drive 8am – 2 pm.
