With just weeks to go in New Jersey’s closely watched gubernatorial elections, voters are gearing up to make their voices heard.
Since 2021, New Jersey has allowed in-person early voting thanks to legislation.
The idea behind the law is to make then state “even more voter-friendly and strengthens our democracy by expanding opportunities to exercise your right to vote,” according to the New Jersey Division of Elections.
Thanks to early voting, voters can cast their ballot in person for both the Primary Election and General Election during a specific time frame before Election Day, allowing for more flexibility for registered voters to make their voices heard.
WHEN AND WHERE IS EARLY VOTING?
Ahead of the General Election, every county in the state designates in-person early voting locations that will be open during the early voting period.
This year, the early voting period is from Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025 through Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025.
Hours will be Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.–8 p.m. and Sunday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m. It’s important to know that any registered New Jersey voter can go and vote since no appointment is necessary.

IF YOU ARE REGISTERED TO VOTE-BY-MAIL….
If you are registered to vote by mail, you are allowed to cast a provisional ballot during early in-person voting or on Election Day, which you can get at your early voting location or polling place.
But remember, if you choose to vote by provisional ballot during early in-person voting or on Election Day, you should NOT complete and return your mail-in ballot because your provisional ballot will be rejected.
It’s also important to note that mail-in ballots cannot be returned to your early voting site or polling place.
