The right to vote is one of the cornerstones of our American democracy. In an ongoing effort to protect our children, there is a national movement to remove polling places from our schools, yet allow voting to remain convenient and accessible.
The Camden County Board of Elections controls voting locations in Voorhees Township and throughout the county. Several polling places will be changing beginning in the upcoming Primary Election on June 7.

The Camden County Board of Elections will be sending several notices of the changes to registered voters and the sample ballot that each voter receives will also include the polling location for that voter.
If you have any questions about your polling place or voter registration information, contact our Municipal Clerk at (856) 429–7757 or at clerk@voorheesnj.com.
In recent years, voting has become even more convenient with the ability to vote by mail. All registered voters are eligible. For more information or to obtain an application to vote by mail, visit www.camdencounty.com/vbm.
