About 690,000 people in New Jersey signed up for permanent vote-by-mail. If they don't opt out by Tuesday, they can't vote early on machines, new this year.
Early, in-person voting is coming to New Jersey this year, but lawmakers are worried if the election system is ready to administer and pay for the change.
April 20 likely won't attract anywhere close to the number of ballots cast in New Jersey in November, but officials want to make sure you know that you may have an upcoming opportunity to vote on local leaders.
WIth more provisional paper ballots likely, and mail-in votes counting if they arrive by Thursday, patience may be needed before Tuesday's winners are known.
