It's Primary Election Day on Tuesday, when polls opened at 6 a.m. and close at 8 p.m., although it's not the only day ballots will be cast.
In-person voting was held over the weekend and mail-in ballots have been available for weeks to voters who prefer them.New Jersey has no statewide races on the ballot this year. However, both chambers of the Democrat-led Legislature are up for grabs in the November election.
Democrats have a 46-34 advantage in the Assembly and a 25-15 margin in the Senate, but control won't be decided until November. This year's primary stands out because there's only a handful of contested races. In southern New Jersey, incumbent Republican Sen. Ed Durr is facing a challenge from incumbent GOP Assemblywoman Beth Sawyer in the 3rd Legislative District.
Durr had worked as a furniture delivery truck driver when he shocked the state by defeating Steve Sweeney, the Senate president. At the time Sawyer, a real estate broker, was his running mate. In New Jersey, candidates from the same party typically run on a joint ticket in their district, even if they're seeking different seats. As a team they swept the Democrats who held the Senate seat and two Assembly seats, helping the GOP net seven seats.
