Every year, the affiliated union organizations that comprise the New Jersey State AFL-CIO vote on which election candidates to endorse based on voting records and working family issues. The New Jersey labor movement has a proud history of supporting candidates who support working families. Working in partnership with the New Jersey State AFL-CIO’s political department, the state’s central labor councils and affiliated local unions, the Committee on Political Education (COPE) makes every effort to educate union members and their families about these endorsements and why they were made.

Every county will provide registered voters with the option to vote early by machine in the 2024 Primary Election.
Each of the 21 counties has designated in-person early voting locations that will be open Wednesday, May 29, through Sunday, June 2. Hours will be Wednesday-Saturday, 10 a.m.–8 p.m. and Sunday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.

The June 4 New Jersey Primary Election will offer in-person voting by machine from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. for all registered voters who have not voted early or submitted a Vote-by-Mail ballot.
If you have received a Vote-by-Mail ballot but have not voted, you may vote only by paper provisional ballot at your polling place.
Polling places may have changed.
If you have not already returned your ballot, you may request a replacement vote-by-mail ballot from your County Clerk. If you go to your polling location on Election Day, you will have to vote using a paper provisional ballot.
