Fax Your New Jersey Ballot From Overseas
New Jersey accepts a voted ballot returned by fax.
New Jersey lets a military voter (a uniformed-services member, spouse, or dependent absent from their New Jersey residence, whether in New Jersey, elsewhere in the United States, or abroad) and an overseas voter return a voted ballot by fax or email to the county board of elections. Source

What goes in the fax
Fax the pages together, to the line your election office uses for ballots.
Every page of it, including any page you left blank.
The New Jersey Division of Elections names no separate oath or secrecy waiver for a faxed state ballot beyond air mailing the original materials; a voter who faxes a Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (from https://www.fvap.gov/) must also sign and send the FWAB cover sheet, which the Division says waives the secrecy of the ballot.

The state's directory publishes no ballot fax line for any county. Call the office before you send and ask for the line.

Call before you send. Fax lines change and some stop answering. A short call confirms the ballot fax number and whether the office has your ballot request. An office’s general fax is not always its ballot line.
Deadlines
A ballot a New Jersey military or overseas voter returns by fax must be received by the county board of elections by 8:00 p.m. on election night, the close of the polls.
www.nj.gov/state/elections/vote-military-and-overseas.shtmlA New Jersey military or overseas voter can ask to receive the ballot by air mail, fax, or email, giving a telephone number on the application for fax delivery or an email address for email delivery.

Every account gets 10 free pages a month, and a page to a US fax number counts as one. A ballot packet of up to 10 pages sends free, with no credit card.
Free pages reset on the 1st. If a second ballot in the same month takes you past 10 pages, a Lite pack covers it, with no subscription.
To get your blank ballot by fax, you need a fax number of your own. A One-Time Fax Number is $14.99 once and receives for 90 days, with 50 pages. Starter is $4.99 a month. A ballot sent to you by email needs neither.
Questions
Can I fax my New Jersey ballot from any country?
Yes. Your county has a US fax number, and a fax to it goes out the same way wherever you are. Whether it arrives depends on the office's line, which is why each row has a number to call first.
What if my county's fax line doesn't answer?
Call the number in your county's row before you try again. A line that rings and never connects will not start working on a retry, and the office can tell you whether the number changed.
My county's row has no ballot fax. Where do I send it?
Call the number in your county's row and ask for the fax line the office takes ballots on. The state's directory does not publish one for that office, and an office's general fax is not always its ballot line.
Do I need my own fax number to send my ballot?
No. Sending needs only the fax number your election office uses. A number of your own matters only if you want the blank ballot faxed to you.
Is this an official New Jersey election site?
No. FaxTerra is a fax service. New Jersey's rules come from its election authority and your county, linked under official sources.
