Overview
- In-person early voting runs October 25 through November 2 with hours set from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
- Across recent surveys from multiple firms, Mikie Sherrill leads Jack Ciattarelli by margins ranging from roughly 1 to 12 points, underscoring a competitive race.
- Key late polls show a close contest, including Rutgers–Eagleton at 50%–45% and a Fox News survey at 50%–45% that reflects a narrowed gap from late September.
- Voters can return mail ballots via secure drop boxes or by mail; those registered to vote by mail who choose to vote in person will cast a provisional ballot and should not also return their mail ballot.
- Partisan messaging is intensifying as Republicans escalate attacks on Sherrill and Ciattarelli campaigns with support from President Donald Trump.
