Overview
- Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., mailed ballots must be postmarked by Dec. 2 and received within six days, and officials permitted limited early voting on Sunday due to expected bad weather.
- Affordability dominates the contest, with Solomon promoting thousands of income-restricted units including some at $1,000 rents and McGreevey arguing the idea would impose an untenable multibillion-dollar burden that Solomon disputes.
- McGreevey has reported roughly $2.5 million in campaign spending compared with about $1.3 million for Solomon.
- Endorsements have split, with Solomon backed by most former rivals and Sen. Andy Kim, and McGreevey supported by Gov. Phil Murphy and the city’s police union.
- A Solomon-commissioned poll shows him with a wide lead, and betting markets on Polymarket and Kalshi have recently moved strongly in his favor.
