- A2 Insights' new survey shows Rep. Mikie Sherrill leading 51.4 to 46.5 as early voting begins, with Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
- The state's off-year election system began in 1947 when Republican Governor Alfred E. Driscoll shifted New Jersey to avoid federal trends, shaping voter turnout today.

- Early voting has opened and 5% of voters remain undecided as Jack Ciattarelli, Republican nominee, runs with an endorsement from President Donald Trump.
- Off-Year contests shrink and shape electorates, with New Jersey's 2025 electorate roughly 1.7 million fewer voters and costly elections diverting tens of millions from other uses.
