FREEHOLD, NJ – The Monmouth County Board of County Commissioners presented Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon, Board of Elections Chairwoman Eileen Kean and Superintendent of Elections Christopher Siciliano with a proclamation promoting awareness of early voting options during a Workshop Meeting on Oct. 22.

“My fellow Commissioners and I encourage every eligible voter in Monmouth County to participate in the 2026 General Election,” said Commissioner Director Thomas A. Arnone. “Voters have several options: early in-person voting from Saturday, Oct. 24, through Sunday, Nov. 1; voting by mail; or voting in person at your local polling place on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3. We encourage everyone to choose the option that works best for them and make their voice heard.”

“During the early in-person voting period there will be 10 convenient locations designated throughout Monmouth County,” said Commissioner Deputy Director Dominick “Nick” DiRocco, liaison to the Monmouth County Clerk’s Office. “From Oct. 24 to Nov. 1, each location will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Residents of any town in Monmouth County may vote at any one of the early in-person voting locations throughout the County.”

“I want to commend the County Clerk, Board of Elections, Superintendent of Elections and their dedicated staff for working together to ensure voters have clear, accurate information about when, where and how they can vote,” said Commissioner Erik Anderson, liaison to the Monmouth County Board of Elections and Superintendent of Elections. “Participating in our elections is an important way to strengthen our democratic process and we encourage every eligible voter to exercise their right to vote.”

“I’m proud that Monmouth County has ranked number one in early voting turnout in every General Election since early voting began in 2021. This achievement reflects our commitment to educating voters about their voting options and ensuring they have access to the information they need to participate,” said Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon. “Voters can access comprehensive election information through our website, MonmouthCountyVotes.gov , and our free mobile app, Monmouth County Votes.”
