Mercer Co. Primary Is Tuesday. Here Is What To Know

MERCER COUNTY, NJ — The 2026 Primary Election is Tuesday, and Mercer County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello is reminding residents of three ways to cast a ballot.

Vote by Mail: Residents who still wish to vote by mail can obtain a ballot in person at the Mercer County Clerk's Office, 209 South Broad St. in Trenton. The office is also open Monday, June 1, during normal business hours until 3 p.m. for in-person vote-by-mail casting. Drop boxes for return ballots remain open until 8 p.m. on Election Day, June 2.

Early Voting: Early voting has now concluded in New Jersey.

Election Day: Voters may cast ballots in person on Tuesday at their assigned polling location. Check your sample ballot for your assigned location or visit the New Jersey Division of Elections website at nj.gov/state/elections/vote.shtml.

Election night results will be posted on the Mercer County Clerk's website at mercercounty.org.

Voters can track mail-in ballots using the New Jersey Division of Elections' "Track My Ballot" tool at nj.gov/state/elections/vote.shtml. The tool shows whether a ballot has been received, accepted or rejected; results are updated after the election is certified.

"When seeking election information, Mercer County's election offices — the Mercer County Clerk's Office, the Board of Elections led by Chairwoman Jill Moyer, and the Superintendent of Elections Office led by Walker M. Worthy Jr. — and the State's website remain the most reliable sources for accurate and up-to-date election information," Covello said.

"Do not rely on non-governmental entities as they may not have accurate or current information."
