TRENTON, N.J. — With early voting well underway in New Jersey, the state’s voters appear split between the two major parties, according to the latest data released by the New Jersey Secretary of State’s office. Out of 134,403 in-person early votes cast, Democrats and Republicans are nearly tied, each capturing over a third of the ballots.
The numbers, updated Saturday, reveal that Democrats account for 51,860 in-person early votes, representing 38.6% of the total. Republicans closely trail with 50,224 votes, or 37.4%. The remaining 24% of in-person ballots, approximately 32,319 votes, were cast by those registered with no party affiliation or minor parties.
In addition to in-person votes, New Jersey residents have already returned 599,497 mail-in ballots, a significant portion of the total 1.1 million requested. The combined early vote count currently stands at 733,900, demonstrating the growing popularity of early and mail-in voting in the state.
The data suggests intense competition in the battleground state, which has seen a push from both parties to mobilize voters early. In recent elections, early voting trends have often provided an early glimpse into voter turnout and party strength heading into Election Day.
The New Jersey Secretary of State’s office is expected to provide updated figures in the coming days as more mail-in ballots are returned and in-person early voting continues across the state.
