WNYC News | Oct 24

The midterm elections are here. In New Jersey, early in-person voting starts Oct. 24 and runs until Nov. 1.

Vote-by-mail is also underway. In the Garden State, mail-in ballots must be postmarked or deposited in an official drop-box by Election Day on November 3rd.

All twelve congressional seats in New Jersey are up for grabs. Senator Cory Booker is also on the ballot, seeking a fourth term.
