Voting in the Annual School Election – by selecting your school board members and deciding your school district’s budget – is a simple but powerful way to support student achievement and strengthen your community.

Now it’s easier than ever to vote. New Jersey allows voters to cast their vote by mail through the use of a mail-in ballot.

The New Jersey School Boards Association created this Voter Information Center to provide the resources needed to take part in the 2011 Annual School Election, which is scheduled for Wednesday, April 27. It includes background information and data, as well as links to obtain a mail-in ballot and voter registration forms. Remember: The deadline to register for the school election is Wednesday, April 6.

Be sure to do your part by taking part in the Annual School Election.
