I'd gotten my NJ vote-by-mail ballot a couple weeks ago and, while I had no hesitation over who my Presidential/Senate/House votes were going to (Harris/Kim/McIver) I waited to send it in until I'd done my due diligence on the local Township races (West Orange) since I only just moved here (from South Orange) in May.

There was a candidates forum on Sunday afternoon so - Due diligence done - ballot cast. Now we wait
