“Ensuring that all eligible voters have an opportunity to participate in our democracy is fundamental. Shavuot is an essential observance for many in our Jewish community, and we must respect their religious practices, said Senator McKeon (D-Essex/Passaic.) By moving the 2025 Primary Election Day to avoid a conflict with this sacred holiday, we uphold our commitment to inclusivity and our duty to protect the right to vote for everyone, regardless of faith. I look forward to working with Governor Murphy and my colleagues in the legislature to ensure every voice is heard on Election Day.”
