2025 Election Early Voting Deadlines Approach Across the US
The 2025 United States elections are in full swing, with major races in New Jersey, Virginia, and New York City. Key contests include gubernatorial races, the mayoral election in New York City, and a ballot proposition on congressional redistricting in California. Early in-person voting deadlines are approaching across the country, with specific cutoff dates provided for voters to cast their ballots. This election season is relatively mild compared to the 2024 cycle, but it still carries significant implications for the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.
Fox News Digital has compiled key deadlines for early in-person voting. The 2025 election season is expected to be less intense than the 2024 federal election cycle, but it still features major races. These include statewide elections for governor in New Jersey and Virginia, the mayoral election in New York City, the ballot proposition on congressional redistricting in California, and three state Supreme Court contests in Pennsylvania.
Voting is underway in these races, with some political surprises in recent weeks. From Virginia’s attorney general candidate Jay Jones’s leaked text scandal to controversy over military records in New Jersey’s governor’s race and backlash against Zohran Mamdani’s left-wing policies, these developments are shaping the election landscape. Voter enthusiasm remains high, and there is still time for people to cast their ballots early.
In New Jersey, in-person early voting began on Saturday and will conclude on November 2. Voting hours are from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday, with Sunday hours from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. No appointments are necessary to vote early. In New York City, residents began early in-person voting Saturday and have until November 2 to cast their ballots. In Virginia, early in-person voting began on September 19 and will run until November 1. All localities in the state offer early voting. In California, early in-person voting begins Saturday and will run through Election Day to decide ballot proposition 50, which would redraw state congressional district maps. In Pennsylvania, voters can return mail ballots to local election offices until 8 p.m. on Election Day, but must apply for a mail-in ballot by Tuesday or vote on Election Day.
The 2025 election will be closely watched in terms of its potential impact on the 2026 midterm elections. With key races shaping the political landscape, voters are encouraged to participate, as their choices could have long-term implications.
