The General Election will be held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. Polls will be open from 6am to 8pm. Due to complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the General Election will be conducted primarily via vote-by-mail ballots, which shall be sent to all “active” registered voters. All vote-by-mail return envelopes shall have prepaid First-class postage in order to facilitate the proper delivery of all cast vote-by-mail ballots.
In addition to vote-by-mail ballots, there will be seven polling locations open in the Town of Secaucus. They will be:
