The USPS has changed its policies regarding when pieces of mail are postmarked. Ballots postmarked after Tuesday, 11/3 will NOT be counted.

If you plan on voting by mail after Tuesday, October 27, consider using a secure ballot drop box to make sure your ballot is collected and counted in a timely manner.

You can find a list of ballot drop boxes in your county HERE

 October Walk Schedule

Election Day is November 3, but nearly 50% of the vote is expected to be cast early. The work we do right now is critical.

We must re-elect Senator Cory Booker, elect all of labor’s endorsed congressional candidates, and support 44 rank-and-file union candidates. Control of the U.S. House of Representatives may come down to the work we do in New Jersey. Please provide volunteers to each Central Labor Council walk from 9:00 a.m. to noon on the dates below.

Working together, we will end the disastrous Trump agenda.
