New Jersey voters are casting ballots in 21 primaries for state legislature on Tuesday.
File: A voter drops a ballot at a mail-in ballot drop off box location in Hoboken, New Jersey, U.S., on Tuesday, July 7, 2020. Democrats hold majorities in both chambers – 46-34 in the state Assembly and 25-15 in the state Senate. Without any statewide races on the ballot, turnout is expected to be low.
The 27th District features two longtime Democratic incumbents, Richard Codey and Nia Gill. They were drawn into the same district after the boundaries were redrawn following the 2020 census. Codey is the longest-serving state legislator in New Jersey history, having been elected to the state Assembly in 1973 and the Senate in 1981. Gill was elected to the Assembly in 1993 and the Senate eight years later.
New Jersey’s primaries are limited to party members. However, unaffiliated voters can join a party on election day and vote in that party’s primary. First results are expected a few minutes after polls close, and election-night updates are expected to wrap up around 1 a.m. In the 2021 general election, 90% of votes were counted by noon the next day.The AP does not make projections and will only declare a winner when it’s determined there is no scenario that would allow the trailing candidates to close the gap.
