Early voting is underway in New Jersey as the November presidential election approaches. As of Thursday, at least 1.45 million people voted in person or by mail.

While we won't know the results of how residents voted across the state until after the polls close on November 5, we can look back at detailed data from previous elections.

Democrat Hillary Clinton won New Jersey in 2016 by more than 540,000 votes over Donald Trump and won 256 cities.

In 2020, Democrat Joe Biden won by 700,000 votes, gaining a majority in 310 New Jersey cities. (See the local maps for both election years below.)

An overwhelming 88% of New Jersey cities voted for the same party in both elections.

Election data shows that 67 cities were flipped between 2016 and 2020. Of those, 60 switched from Republicans in 2016 to Democrats in 2020.

Republican Donald Trump will be on the ballot in his third presidential election, while Democrat Kamala Harris takes her party's top job for the first time. Voters will also have a say in local elections, including city council elections and school board elections.
