Cumberland County election board to count mail and provisional ballots June 10

Cumberland County will reopen its post-primary count on Wednesday, June 10, at 4:30 p.m., when the Board of Elections meets at 555 Shiloh Pike in Bridgeton to process and count additional mail-in ballots and provisional ballots from the June 2 primary.

That meeting is the county’s next public step in deciding whether any local contests still have room to change after election night. Mail ballots that arrive in the county’s hands during the post-election window and provisional ballots cast at polling places can still be added to the tally before results are finalized.

State election rules explain why the work continues after voters leave the polls. Provisional ballots are not counted at the polling place; they are sent to county election officials after the polls close for verification and counting. Mail-in ballots returned by mail must be postmarked by Election Day and received by the county board of elections within six days after the polls close, giving Cumberland County a set window to finish its review.

The board’s notice also says any challenge to ballots must follow an official request procedure to the Cumberland County Board of Elections. That matters for campaigns and voters watching close races, because disputed or incomplete ballots are handled through a formal process before the count is locked down.

The county’s current board members are Russell Creech, chair; Robin Wood, secretary and commissioner of registration; Tamara Davis; and Judith Laning. The notice also names Lizbeth Hernandez as administrator and Renee Buehler as assistant administrator. The board office is listed at 164 W. Broad St. in Bridgeton, while the ballot-processing notice directs voters to the Shiloh Pike location, showing that county election work is split across more than one address.

Cumberland County has already been moving through this count in stages. Earlier notices set mail-ballot processing sessions for May 16, May 17, May 30 and May 31 before the June 2 primary, which means June 10 is part of a multi-step canvass rather than a one-day tally. The county clerk’s election-results page also shows the 2026 primary reporting materials are already organized online, another sign that the county is tracking the count as part of a broader certification process.

The June 10 notice includes a Spanish-language version as well, broadening access for voters across Bridgeton, Vineland, Millville, Commercial Township and the rest of Cumberland County. For anyone asking whether the result is final yet, the answer is no: the county still has ballots to review, and those counts can still move a local race before the final numbers are settled.
