Early voting for November election brings changes to NJ. Here's what to know

New Jersey's upcoming general election will have some differences from past years, as the state is offering in-person early voting.

Early voting is set to begin on Oct. 23 and will end on Oct. 31, giving voters a week to head to a polling place and cast their ballot before Election Day on Nov. 2. But if your plan is to vote early and in person, there are some important changes to keep in mind, as the process will slightly differ from traditional Election Day voting.

The machine used for early voting is digital and will remind voters if they don’t make selections in a given category. After making their choices, early voters in some counties will print out their ballots. A security folder will be provided for voters in those counties to take the printed ballot across the room and scan it. After the ballot is scanned, it is considered submitted. Voters who cast their ballot on Nov. 2 will do so on a traditional machine, though in Monmouth County the new machines will also be used on Election Day.

Another change is that paper logs won't be used at polling places. Instead, early voters will check in on digital poll books linked to the poll books at locations throughout the county to combat duplicate votes. The digital books will still be used on Election Day, but will not be linked.

There are multiple early voting locations in each New Jersey county, and those wishing to vote early can do so at any location in their registered county. Those voting on Election Day, though, will have to do so at their normal polling place. Polls will be open on Nov. 2 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Here is a list of every early voting location in New Jersey. All locations are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday to Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday:
