Why you should vote, according to NJ primary election voters: Video
These are the issues NJ residents are concerned about this election cycle and why they say it’s important to vote.
Voters in Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, South Dakota, and the District of Columbia head to the polls on Tuesday for primary elections. This is also the first time former President Donald Trump is on the ballot following his felony convictions in a New York court last week.
The leading candidate for the GOP will be on the Republican ballot in Montana, New Jersey, and New Mexico. President Joe Biden will also appear on the Democratic ballot in those states, including Washington, D.C., and South Dakota.
After today, the only remaining primaries will be two contests in Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands on Saturday, June 8.
Here’s what to watch:
Montana
In Montana, there are contested races for the U.S. House and Senate, governor, attorney general, state legislature, state Supreme Court, and several other state and local offices.
The most high-profile races include Republican challenges to incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Tester and candidates for an open U.S. House seat held by far-right Republican Representative Matt Rosendale, who is stepping down at the end of his term in January 2025.
In the presidential race, only Biden and Trump are on the primary ballots, with the option to vote “no preference” or write in a candidate.
Polls close at 8 p.m. local.
Washington D.C.
In D.C., there are contests for the Democratic presidential nominee, congressional delegates, and the City Council. President Biden is up against Marianne Williamson, Armando Perez-Serrato, and any write-in candidates.
Polls close at 8 p.m. local.
Iowa
Iowa already held its presidential caucus in January, one of the first of the primary season. It’s holding races for the U.S. House and Senate and the state House.
Polls close at 8 p.m. local.

Biden faces Williamson and “Uncommitted.”
Polls close at 7 p.m. local.
South Dakota
In South Dakota, primary races for the state Senate and House and presidential candidates are on the ballot.
Biden is running against Williamson and Perez-Serrato. Dean Phillips, who dropped out of the race, will also appear on the ballot.

Polls close at 7 p.m. local.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The U.S. Postal Service is commemorating the centennial anniversary of Route 66 with a set of eight stamps.
The stamps feature eight different photographs from each state that Route 66 runs through. For New Mexico, a photo shows a old Grants Cafe sign.
Greg Breeding, an art director for USPS, designed the stamps and stamp pane using existing photographs by David J. Schwartz.
The stamps will make their debut at the National Postal Forum, also known as the NPF, at the Phoenix Convention Center on May 5. The event will be free and open to the public.
Route 66 was established on Nov. 11, 1926. It originally stretched about 2,400 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles. Dubbed “The Mother Road” by author John Steinbeck, Route 66 became a national symbol of freedom and adventure.
News of the stamps is being shared online with the hashtag #Route66Stamps.
Lowrider stamps
In another nod to local car culture, the USPS will begin issuing its Lowrider Forever stamps in sheets of 15 beginning Friday.
