Ocean County Sheriff Local PBA #379: We would like all of you to know that there is a secure ballot box located on the 3rd floor of the Ocean County Parking Garage next to the Courthouse.
This box, like all ballot box drop off locations, have a security camera with a direct feed to our Communication division. These are 100% safe and secure way for you to vote.
Your mail in ballot is the only way this election cycle to vote. On Election Day if you choose to vote “in-person” you will only receive a “provisional ballot” which may or may not be counted.
Vote with confidence and drop off at any of Ocean Counties drop off location.
Be a good citizen and vote. It is our duty as citizens to have our voices heard.
Thank you
Thanks for the tip, I will be utilizing a secure drop off box close to my neighborhood.
3rd floor so you have to pay to drive up there lol
Dawn Borg Smith well worth it
FYI Parking is free
And more then likely the security cameras dont work
Rich Carroll They installed the same cameras Epstein had. ????♀️
Rich Carroll so that means they do work
Black and white with 10 pixels per screen.
There is a box outside of the library.
What a creepy place to put this box, I guess making it convenient and safe is not what the are trying to accomplish.
Tim Reid ????
Tim Reid yea, nothing about that location screams secure!
Tim Reid how is it not safe. It’s in downtown. High traffic area. What else is needed? A carnival barker or an armed guard?
Tim Reid it’s covered and you can pull right up. Cameras all over.
Tim Reid my thought, exactly
Scott A Barnes I am assuming there is a large senior population that would not feel comfortable going in there. Just my opinion.
Tim Reid well there are four other spots
It’s literally in a parking garage, attached the County building, where you can drive right up, with security cameras and lighting everywhere as well as County security that drives through the garage throughout the day…. not sure how much more convenient or safe it can get. lol
Five drop boxes were put in place for the July primaries. Those boxes are available now for ballots to be dropped off:
Northern Ocean County Resource Center, 225 4th S., Lakewood
Ocean County Southern Service Center, 179 South Main St., Manahawkin
Ocean County Parking Garage, Madison Avenue, Toms River
Brick Township Municipal Building, 401 Chambers Bridge Road, Brick;
Manchester Branch of the Ocean County Library, 21 Colonial Dr., Manchester
Tim Reid thank you so much for sharing
Do you know if you have to drop it in a box in your town or can you use one more convenient to you?
Karen Dewar all being taken to the same location so drop wherever convenient
Or you can walk 50 more feet inside the building and hand it over in person. ????????♀️
Drop off your ballot at the Board of Elections. This way, you can sign up yo track your ballot. Make sure your ballot is counted!!!
Nouvelle Mifsud is there a drop off box there. I didn’t see one
It’s inside. They give you the instructions on tracking your ballot.
You can track your ballot from any drop off box. I placed mine in the one at the library on Sunday and already shows received.
You got to be kidding
Right? Why not place it in front of the Sherrifs Dept? They have cameras, too!
Nouvelle Mifsud so does the parking garage
SMH
It would help to actually get a ballot in the mail first. ????????♀️
And then the ballots wind up here
Great spot ????????????
TERRIBLE place to put this. How about OUTSIDE the Library or Courthouse…who thinks of these things???
Janice Ramos You mean like they already did? They have them at most of the main branches of the library.
Janice Ramos how about outside library or court house? Seriously? In parking garage its in vire of security camera …think there is one outside library or court house. ?
Don’t trust it !!
Weren’t we supposed to get our ballots via mail already?
yea looks secure as a quarter laying on the ground
Seriously. What a awful place to put this.
What a convenient spot, third floor, not first or in front of, but the third floor, I read there is one ballot box per County (not sure if true). If so, this is the best they could do?
Seeing that we are allowed to go to grocery store. Put the voting booths in stores. Smh
David Slavico good idea
Looks like a recycling bin!
Safe? ????????
3rd floor? You kidding me?

There’s one at the ocean county library in Toms River as well. 3 floor parking garage doesn’t sound too secure to me! I didn’t even get a ballot yet. #justwantto pullthelever
Bring your ballet to board of elections
Kathy Monica that’s what I’m doing. I think it’s the safest way
Debbie Kafafian absolutely
Kathy Monica Kim who runs downtown said the same thing to us this weekend.
Once you vote, track your ballot. https://www.state.nj.us/state/elections/vote-track-my-ballot.shtml
I’m bringing my to the county clerk. And getting a receipt.
Debbie Skerchak Duffield great idea!
Debbie Skerchak Duffield dame!
I got my ballot envelope today. I opened it up and found the return envelope but did not receive a ballot to fill out. Same thing with my son’s mailing. Anyone else experience this?
Even if it foes in the drop box its as secure as if handed in at board of electronics
I’m still waiting for my ballot ????????♀️
I dropped mine there. It seems safe. You can’t see it but next to the box is double doors that were open and led in to the building. You drive right up to it

To the people confused about why it’s the 3rd floor, it’s actually the primary accessed floor at this parking garage, which leads to the skywalk connecting to the justice complex
I put my ballot and husbands ballot in the Beachwood ballot box and tracked them and they received them.
