In the 2022 general election, the last comparable midterm, turnout in Washington was about 46%, per the New Jersey Division of Elections. Across Gloucester County, turnout ran roughly 45% in that 2022 midterm versus about 74% in the 2024 presidential election, the drop that means local races here turn on a smaller, more motivated electorate. A township committee, council, or mayoral seat can come down to a few hundred votes, so which side turns out its supporters is often decisive.
