“The recent outbreak of COVID-19 has made it necessary for Somerset County to prepare and plan for a variety of outcomes,” said Freeholder Director Robinson. “Our county’s election officials are taking the lead to ensure that New Jersey has a successful primary election.”

“My goal is to ensure that the democratic process continues uninterrupted and that all voters’ voices are heard and recorded,” said Somerset County Clerk Steve Peter. “Although the county’s administration building is currently closed to the public, our staff continues to work diligently to process applications received in the mail.”
