Morristown residents can begin early voting for the General Election starting tomorrow, October 28th. This year's election offers three voting options: Election Day voting, in-person early voting, and vote-by-mail to accommodate the schedules and needs of all registered voters.
In-Person Early Voting:
Starting tomorrow, October 28th, through November 5th, early voting will be available at the Morristown Municipal Building located at 200 South Street.

The polls will be open Monday to Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. No appointment is needed, and "accommodations will be made for voters with disabilities."
