Assemblywoman Michele Matsikoudis, who represents New Jersey’s 21st legislative district, posted several updates on September 22, 2025, regarding the upcoming general election and the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah.
In her first post of the day, Matsikoudis reminded constituents about the election season and provided information for voters. She wrote, “Happy Monday, LD-21! It’s election season once again in NJ, and ballots are officially on their way to everyone on the permanent vote-by-mail list. Check out today’s #MondaysWithMichele for a refresher on how to cast your ballot in the 11/4 general election. https://t.co/j7hpuv1rRI” (September 22, 2025).
Shortly after, she encouraged residents to engage further with her office and campaign resources by sharing a link. She stated, “Be sure to use this link to request a vote-by-mail ballot, sign up for my office newsletter, and follow me on my other social media platforms: https://t.co/5qph09tqkD” (September 22, 2025).
Later that evening, Matsikoudis acknowledged Rosh Hashanah in a message to her followers: “Tonight, the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown, marking the start of a new year on the Hebrew calendar. Shana Tova to all who celebrate! May the year 5786 be a happy, healthy, and sweet one for you and your family. #RoshHashanah https://t.co/0idkHgxj42” (September 22, 2025).
New Jersey has implemented measures such as permanent vote-by-mail lists and online ballot request options in recent years to increase voter participation. These policies aim to make voting more accessible across all districts in the state.
Rosh Hashanah is an important observance in Judaism that marks the beginning of the Hebrew calendar year with celebrations that include prayers and traditional foods.
