Welcome to the Mercer County Clerk's Election Page!

Those seeking petitions for local office (including county committee) should contact your city or Municipal Clerk, not the County Clerk.

NEW in 2025, we offer a tool to track the wait-time for early voting locations. The three Mercer County Election Offices worked together to offer voters an APP on all three of our websites, so you can check to see how long lines are before you go to the polls to vote!
