Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi is pleased to announce the launch of the Union County Votes App, a free new mobile app designed to help Union County residents connect quickly and easily with accurate information about voting and elections.
The Union County Votes app enables voters to find their polling place, request voter registration forms and vote-by-mail ballots, view sample ballots, and follow unofficial election results in real time. The app also provides information for persons interested in becoming a poll worker or running for office, including election filing dates and district maps.
