More than 163K cast ballots during first weekend of early voting in NJ

[RandySF]

More than 163,000 New Jerseyans cast early in-person ballots on Saturday and Sunday, marking a decline from turnout records set for last year’s presidential race.

Statewide, 163,428 voters cast machine ballots in person this weekend, down from the 247,003 that cast ballots in person during the opening weekend of last year’s early-voting period.

The reduction falls in line with expectations for this year’s elections, when the gubernatorial race and all 80 Assembly seats are on the ballot. Turnout for federal elections, and presidential races in particular, is typically higher than turnout for state races.

The front-runners in the governor’s race are Jack Ciattarelli (R) and Mikie Sherrill (D).

Polling data from this subset, N=3, shows Sherrill has 100% of the votes thus far.
