Early voting in New Jersey begins third day – New Jersey Globe
Good morning, New Jersey.
Today is the third of five days of in-person early voting for the 2024 primary election, with polling places across New Jersey operating from 10 AM to 8 PM.
Early voting centers will be open today and tomorrow from 10 AM to 8 PM, and on Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM
As long as voters are in line by the close of early voting each day, they may vote regardless of how long the lines are. Voters should never be asked to leave and come back the next day.
In New Jersey, you may only vote in the primary of your party affiliation; the deadline to switch parties has passed. However, unaffiliated voters may declare an affiliation at the polls and vote in either the Democratic or Republican primaries.
This is New Jersey’s third election cycle to use early voting.
Voters may cast their ballots at any polling place in the county of their residence between today and Sunday:

First-time voters who registered by mail might need to provide identification at the polls.
Anyone who has already received a vote-by-mail ballot may not vote by machine but can seek a replacement mail-in ballot from their county clerk, or request a provisional ballot on Election Day.
With less than one week to go before Election Day, voters should casting vote-by-mail-in ballots consider skipping the U.S. Postal Service and using secure ballot drop boxes in the county where they reside:

Attorney General Matt Platkin said on Tuesday that the state’s Voter Protection Initiative will watch for voting rights and civil rights violations during early voting and on Election Day.
“We will do everything in our power to ensure that every eligible voter is able to exercise this fundamental right without facing intimidation, discrimination, or harassment,” Platkin said. “We have built the infrastructure to promptly resolve voting-related issues, and we will hold accountable anyone who attempts to disrupt our democratic process.”
The Office of Public Integrity and Accountability will monitor allegations of voter intimidation, election fraud and interference, illegal electioneering, and other criminal violations.
The OPIA has spent the last four years pursuing election fraud charges filed against Paterson Councilmen Alex Mendez and Michael Jackson; the two were re-elected earlier this month while under indictment and awaiting trial. An investigation into racist flyers in the 2017 elections in Edison and Hoboken has turned into cold cases that the OPIA has been unable to crack.

Superior Court judges across the state will be available through Sunday to conduct remote hearings if New Jerseyans believe they were improperly rejected from early voting.
Voters should not leave their polling location just because an election worker says they don’t appear on their rolls. Instead, they should contact election officials to determine the status of their registration. A provisional ballot can be requested on Election Day, but that won’t fix the problem; if a name does not show up on the voter list, and the issue is not addressed, election officials will likely reject the ballot.
Instead, voters who believe a mistake was made can request to appear before a judge. This can be done remotely by video or telephone; it’s not necessary to go to the courthouse, although that is an option.
Election officials will arrange for a judge to hear election-related issues on the same day.
Early voting centers are open on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 AM to 8 PM and on Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM. Click HERE to find an early voting location.

South Jersey Schools Plan for Cellphone Ban
Statewide NJ cellphone ban begins; South Jersey schools pilot lockers, pouches & backpacks.
“This sucks. There is no other way to explain it. I joined a club. A club that shouldn’t exist. The worst club that a parent could ever be a part of. The club where I have to bury my child,” Mike Shevlin said on Facebook after his 3-year old son tragically died after drowning in the family pool.
The devastating death of Elijah Shevlin in Washington Township has rocked the community. On June 27, Elijah was found unresponsive by his parents in the family pool. He died on July 3.
According to Mike Shevlin’s page, the father started compressions immediately after finding his son face down and motionless in the pool.
First responders arrived quickly, and Elijah was transferred to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. His brain had swollen to the point that nothing could be done to save his life.
Elijah’s mother, Sandra Shevlin, posted on Facebook, describing her son as an angel.
“I’m forever broken. I love you with all my heart, my sweet angel boy. You were too good for this earth,” she said.
Elijah is survived by his parents and his two siblings, his twin Ella and 6-year-old Mickey. The family decided on organ donation.
“Somewhere in this country, a phone is about to ring. On one end of the phone is a doctor. And on the other end is a parent who’s going to hear that an organ is waiting to save their child,” Mike said on Facebook. “And knowing that a few other Dads out there never have to feel the pain I feel can bring me some closure.”
Peter Del Borrello III, Washington Township Council president, sent out a statement to the community calling for strength and support for the family.
“Together, let us wrap out arms around them and remind them that an entire community stands beside them. This is our opportunity to show Mike, Sandi, Ella, and Mickey that they have an entire town behind them – not just today, but in the difficult days, weeks, and months ahead.”
Elijah’s parents have spent their lives dedicated to the Washington Township community. Mike Shevlin is a veteran and police officer for the Camden County Police Department. Sandi Shevlin is a first-grade elementary school teacher.
Elijah’s family has opened a GoFundMe to support the family during these difficult times and has raised over $65,000 in donations.
Community members have also organized a lemonade and baked goods stand, with all proceeds going to the family. The stand will be open on July 5 from 1 to 4 p.m. at 30 Longwood Drive in Sicklerville.
