New Jersey 2022 primary election results
Redistricting has changed the landscape -- and one Democrat is in a fight.
New Jersey voters headed to the polls on Tuesday to cast their ballots in primaries for the House and the state legislature. Polls closed at 8 p.m. ET.
Early in-person voting was held from Friday to Sunday. New Jersey also provided secure ballot drop box locations throughout all counties.
Mail-in ballots had to be postmarked by 8 p.m. Tuesday or they could be delivered to a county’s Board of Elections office by 8 p.m. that same day.
State Significance
Redistricting has changed the political landscape, causing Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski to fight for his seat in the newly drawn 7th Congressional District, which heavily favors the GOP.
The primary night results will also show the power of name recognition -- and, critics say, nepotism -- as Rob Menendez, son of Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez, seeks his party's nomination for the 8th Congressional District.
