Early voting up to 112,750 after six days, with three days remaining

The number of New Jerseyans who have cast in-person early votes is now up to 112,750, after 23,487 people voted on Thursday – the biggest day yet for the state’s new early voting program.

That brings the total number of ballots already cast to 564,273, including 451,523 vote-by-mail ballots marked as received by county election officials.

Monmouth and Ocean counties continue to lead the state in early voting.

A total of 25.7% of all votes cast in the 2017 general election have already voted in 2021.

So far, 8.6% of all registered voters have voted early in-person as part of a new law that became effective this year.

New Jersey has 6,561,568 registered voters, but that tally does not include new voter registrations that came in before the October 12 deadline.  There were 2,198,362 votes cast four years ago.

Early voting in New Jersey stared on October 23 and extends through October 31.  These numbers do not include early voting tallies.

Mail-in ballots can be sent through the U.S. Postal Service – although some election officials strongly recommend against that – and can be deposited in secure ballot drop boxes across the state.  Click HERE for a list of drop box locations.

Voters can track their own vote-by-mail ballots.  Click HERE to sign in to your Track My Ballot account or click HERE to sign up.
