    The countdown has officially begun.

    Today marks seven days until Election Day and so far 500,000 Garden State residents have voted.

    According to SmartTarget, New Jersey has 584,116 registered voters who have already returned their absentee ballots for the 2024 election, scheduled for Tuesday, November 5.

    The Democratic political data and data services company released its NJ Statewide 2024 Early & Absentee Vote report to TargetEarly – a dashboard examining early in-person and absentee voting. The process involves collecting daily early voter feedback from every state and county election office in the U.S. and analyzing the information by political affiliation and type of vote.

    The report outlined which political party has conducted the most postal votes so far. And there's also a breakdown by county in each state.

    Of the 584,116 mail-in ballots returned statewide, 357,339 (61.2%) are Democrats; 120,540 (20.6%) are Republican; 104,089 (17.8%) are unaffiliated and 2,148 (0.4%) are other.

    Below you will find the numbers requested by district. These numbers are based on early voting for states with 1,000 votes.
