Good morning, New Jersey. The sixth day of early voting for the 2023 general election begins today.
Early voting centers are open today from 10 AM to 8 PM.
The state’s nine-day early voting period began on Saturday, with 45,972 early votes cast on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. An additional 352,342 vote-by-mail ballots have also been marked as received since county clerks began mailing them last month.
“New Jersey voters can vote between now and Sunday at any early voting site in their county,” said Lt. Governor Tahesha Way, who is New Jersey’s top election official in her role as Secretary of State. “You don’t have to wait until November 7th to cast your vote in this election.”
Starting Monday, October 30 through Saturday, November 4, early voting will be open from 10 AM to 8 PM. The final day for early voting is Sunday, November 5, from 10 AM to 6 PM.
Voters may vote from any designated in-person early voting location in the county in which they are registered. Click HERE for a list of early voting poll locations in each county.

Early voting is just one of many options to vote in the upcoming election.
Vote-by-mail ballots may be dropped in secure drop boxes or returned by the U.S. Postal Service at the peril of a voter; ballots must be postmarked by 8 PM on November 8 and delivered to the county Board of Elections no later than close of business on Monday, November 14.
