SINCE YOU LAST VOTED…

Since 2020, it’s gotten easier to cast your ballot in New Jersey. Here are the changes you need to pay attention to:

When making a plan to vote…

  • Say hello to early voting, which runs the week before the general election from Saturday to Saturday! 
  • If you don’t vote by mail for four years straight, you’ll no longer have mail ballots sent to you afterwards. An easy way around this – keep voting!
