Union County Clerk Offers Absentee Ballots For Nov. 2 Election ELIZABETH — Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi is urging all county voters to apply for an ab- sentee ballot if they believe they will be unable to vote in the Tues- day, November 2, General Elec- tion because of unavailability or illness. “With the dire predictions of low turnout that is expected in this elec- tion,” Ms. Rajoppi said, “it is even more important for anyone who is eligible to vote to do so.” The top of the ballot will be the New Jersey Assembly races, an election for Surrogate in Union County to replace the late Ann Conti, and the election of three Union County Freeholders. In addition, there are two state constitutional questions and a transportation bond referendum on the ballot. The Union County Clerk’s Of- fice will be open on Saturday, Oc- tober 30, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. to serve voters who need absentee ballot applications and ballots for the General Election. The office is located at the Union County Courthouse, 2 Broad Street in Elizabeth on the first floor.
