Election Day is less than two weeks away! There are races for U.S. President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, even-numbered State Senate Districts, and all 99 State Assembly seats. Voters will also have a proposed state constitutional amendment on their ballots related to the eligibility to vote. There are also many school referenda throughout the state.

Due to legislative redistricting, this will be one of the most competitive election cycles in recent memory for state assembly and state senate. Republicans are very likely to maintain control of the State Senate. Democrats have a path to gain control of the State Assembly, though it’s a challenging one. We’ve compiled a list of races to watch, which is attached. 

Make sure you have a plan to vote!

Early Voting (In-Person Absentee): Early voting started October 22 and goes until Sunday, November 3. Hours and locations vary by municipality; contact your municipal clerk for details. 

Absentee Ballot (By Mail): The deadline to request that an absentee ballot be mailed to you is Thursday, October 31. However, completed absentee ballots must be received by the clerk’s office by 8 p.m. on Election Day in order to be counted, so time is running out to use this option. 

Election Day: Polls are open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5. You can register to vote at the polls.
