Dear Fellow Bergen County Resident,
It is my pleasure to present to you the 2020 BERGEN COUNTY ELECTION
CALENDAR featuring the amazing artwork of some very talented fourth
graders from schools throughout our county. These young, aspiring artists
were the winners of the "My County" Poster Contest sponsored by your
Constitutional Officers: Sheriff Anthony Cureton, Surrogate Court Judge
Michael Dressler and myself.
As we embark upon this Presidential Election year, we also acknowledge
John S. Hogan that this year marks the 100th Anniversary of the ratification of the 19th
Bergen County Clerk Amendment to the Constitution that granted women the right to vote.

NJMVC Collaboration
At Clerk Hogan’s Counter Division, applications for
U.S. Passports are accepted daily, for processing
by the U.S. Department of State. Unfortunately, many customers seek a Non-
Driver Identification Card and must be redirected to the DMV. Clerk Hogan
has found a solution for those customers. Through this collaboration with the
NJMVC, he is optimistic about making the lives of Bergen County residents
easier by bringing DMV services to our communities. DMV “Mobile Units” will
be scheduled throughout the year, many coinciding with the Bergen County
Clerk’s Satellite Offices.ApplicAtion For Vote by MAil bAllot
