TRENTON (WABC) -- New Jersey politics gets down to the nitty-gritty Tuesday. It's the final day to register to vote in the state's June 7 primary.
All 120 seats in the state Legislature are up for grabs.
It will be the first primary since the state re-drew its district lines to conform with the 2010 census.A new Election Law Enforcement Commission report shows the candidates have collected $12 million in campaign reserves.
The report show Democrats had $8.2 million as of May 6, and Republicans had just under $4 million.
There are few contested primaries, so most of the money will be used in fall election campaigns.
ELEC executive director Jeff Brindle says pay-to-play laws have influenced fund-raising. The amount raised so far is 2 percent higher than 2007, the last time the Senate and Assembly ran together.
