Enjoy participate and learn. . .
Greetings to all!

The National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey is proud to announce 
three upcoming Zoom calls open to all members and non-members; distribute 
far and wide.

1. Accessible vote via mail:  On Monday, June 22, 2020  at 11:00 am with 
Charlie Munford and others to highlight the accessible vote by mail for 
upcoming primary elections to be held on July 7.  After the presentation, 
questions will be taken.

>From the Governor's Office:

In light of the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, Governor 
Murphy signed Executive Order No. 144 on May 15, 2020 which requires the 
County Clerk to send all Unaffiliated and Inactive Democratic and Republican 
registered voters a Vote-by-Mail Ballot application for the upcoming July 7, 
2020 Primary Election. You will receive an application because you are a 
registered Unaffiliated voter or a voter with an Inactive status that is 
entitled to vote in the July 7, 2020 Primary Election.

Because New Jersey is a closed Primary Election state, in order to receive a 
ballot, an Unaffiliated voter must choose to be affiliated with the 
Democratic or Republican party to receive that Party’s Vote by Mail Ballot. 
You may return to an Unaffiliated status following the Primary Election by 
completing and returning a Party Declaration Form to your County 
Commissioner of Registration.

A voter may apply for a Mail-In Ballot by mail up to 7 days prior to the 
election. He or she may also apply in person to the County Clerk prior to 8 
P.M. the day of the election.
