As of this morning, there were a total of 235,940 VBM ballots received in Burlington County, a still a moving number since the Postal Service is still delivering ballots and any postmarked on or before Nov. 3 will be counted.

There is no number yet for total provisional ballots yet.

235,940 is a new Burlington County record for voters participating in an election, surpassing 2008’s total of 224,740 voters (208,809 by machine, 13,235 by absentee and 2,696 provisional).

The participation rate in 2008 was 80%, so it remains to be seen if this year will surpass that. The NJ Division of Elections statistics show 347,311 registered voters in Burlington County now.
