Voters that are registering to vote in New Jersey for the first time must register and declare their party by May 18th.
State offices, local elections and constitutional amendments may be included on the ballot.
Early Voting: April 24th - June 8th (In-person absentee)
You can vote in-person absentee from the time the ballots become available until 3:00 pm the day before the election. The absentee ballot must be postmarked by Election Day.
You may apply to change to vote-by-mail status without an excuse at any time. Either select permanent mail-in voter when registering to vote, or by submitting a county-based request for mail-in ballots.
