Election Day is next week on Tuesday, November 3! If you haven't already, make sure your vote is counted by returning your ballot at any Camden County secure drop box locations. And right here in Cherry Hill, we are very fortunate to have two locations. One is at Town Hall, 820 Mercer Street and the other is located at Camden County College - Rohrer Campus (Rear of Parking Lot) located at 1889 Marlton Pike East.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, there will be limited in-person polling places where voters can cast their vote by paper Provisional Ballots. Per the new law, you cannot vote in a machine at the polls (there will be an ADA accessible ballot marking devices available for voters that are unable to vote via paper ballot). If you have any questions about your polling locations or any anything related to casting your vote for the General Election, please contact the Camden County Board of Elections at 856-401-8683 or visit their website.

On Wednesday, the Cherry Hill Human Relations Advisory Committee held a very meaningful Interfaith Healing Service. Community and religious leaders throughout town joined me and members of Township Council as we shared a moment of togetherness, community, and healing. Thank you to everyone that attended this very meaningful event. You can watch the full program here.

Please continue to stay safe.

Please take a look at our website and social media pages where we posted the Department of Health’s Halloween safety guidelines. It’s so important that we look out for one another this year.

We understand there will be families and residents who do not feel comfortable participating this year, and so for those households we’ve created a sign that can be taped to the front door that politely indicates to trick-or-treaters that they can skip this particular house. Again for a link to download your “not participating” sign visit the Cherry Hill website and social media.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, there will be limited in-person polling places where voters can cast their vote by paper provisional ballot only.
