NJ Election Day Is Around the Corner!
Here's How to Vote Early or in November.
October 15, 2025
New Jersey’s General Election is less than one month away. NJ Election Day is on November 4th.
The polling is incredibly tight in the race for governor between Republican Jack Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill. Voters will also cast ballots in state legislature, county, and local elections.
Here is a step‑by‑step guide to making sure you’re vote is counted.
Voting by Mail
Apply as early as possible. Many counties begin mailing applications weeks before the deadline.
Once you receive your mail ballot:
1. Fill it out carefully, following all instructions.
2. Sign the affidavit or envelope as required.
3. Return by mail (must be postmarked by Election Day) or deliver to a secure drop box or your county’s Board of Elections office by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
If you prefer, you may hand-deliver your ballot rather than rely on the postal service.
Early In‑Person Voting
New Jersey offers a multi-day early in-person voting period, during which voters may go to designated sites and cast ballots using voting machines.
The general election period began on Saturday, October 25, and runs through Sunday, November 2
Voting Hours:
Monday–Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
