2010 General Election Sample Ballots Now Available

With the 2010 General Election approaching, Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi announced on Wednesday, October 20 that sample ballots are now available to voters online.

2010 General Election Sample Ballot

This new service allows voters to preview the ballot that will be used in their district prior to voting day.  There are 438 voting districts in Union County so this new service will not only help voters locate their district’s voting facility, but also prepare themselves so that voting on election day will be smooth and simple.

According to Rajoppi, Union county is the first county in the state to put each voting district online so that voters in each town can preview their specific ballot.

Not sure what district you are in?  No worries!  The new system allows voters to find information based on their street address.

Voters will be receiving a sample ballot through the mail as well, but this new system will allow you to get a head start.

Make sure you are prepared for the General Election on Tuesday, November 2 by using this great new tool!
