Who’s On The Ballot, Where To Vote: Lawrence Primary Election Guide

LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ — The primary election in New Jersey is on Tuesday.

Democratic and Republican voters will head to the polls from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. to cast ballots in the 2024 primary.

The winners will earn their political party’s nomination, giving them an advantage heading into the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 5.

The last day for in-person voting was June 2.

This year’s primary election ballots will also have a new look for Democratic Party voters, due to a lawsuit against a controversial political ballot design known as “the party/county line.”
