New Jersey Mail-In Ballots Sent Ahead 2025 Gubernatorial Election

New Jersey is preparing for its high-stakes gubernatorial election on November 4, with mail-in ballots being sent out to voters, including those who automatically receive ballots for every election. The race features Democrat Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli, competing to succeed term-limited Governor Phil Murphy, with national party organizations investing heavily as the elections are seen as a bellwether for the political climate under the second Trump administration. Union County voters will receive their mail-in ballots in yellow envelopes starting September 19, with guidance provided for ballot return. The prominence of mail-in voting in New Jersey reflects a trend more common among Democrats, with a substantial portion of ballots already returned in recent primaries. Meanwhile, in Florida, the Lee County Supervisor of Elections is conducting list maintenance by sending address confirmation notices to inactive voters to maintain accurate voter rolls ahead of upcoming elections. These preparations highlight ongoing efforts across states to manage voter participation and election integrity ahead of key contests in 2025.
