2020 New Jersey elections

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elections were held in the U.S. state of New Jersey on November 3, 2020.[1]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, ballots for voting by mail were sent to all registered voters in the state.[2] Ballots were processed immediately upon receipt.[3] An audit of the ballots was completed in January. The results did not change the outcome and the process was generally considered a success.[4]
