Elections and Voting Video Contest Winners Honored

Clerk Hanlon honored the winners of our 2022 High School Elections and Voting Video Contest at the Board of County Commissioners Meeting on Thursday, February 2.

Our annual contest encourages local students to create a short video highlighting what voting means to them, while encouraging their peers to exercise their right to vote. The 2022 contest also asked students to explore New Jersey's three ways to vote.

Congratulations to our winners!

Passport

U.S. State Department Passport Processing Delays

Attention travelers! Now is the time to plan ahead for spring and summer travel, as the U.S. State Department has increased their processing times for passport applications.

Routine service will now take 8 to 11 weeks, while expedited service (with an additional $60 fee) will take between 5 to 7 weeks.

The Monmouth County Clerk has two convenient offices in Freehold and Neptune to assist in applying for a passport. Visit MonmouthCountyClerk.com for more information.


Upcoming Dates
