- Primary Election -
The State of NJ has a “closed” Primary.
To vote in the Primary, you must declare party affiliation.
Only Democrats and Republicans are permitted to vote in the Primary!*
If you are already registered with your preferred party, simply show up at the polls and vote.
To change your party affiliation: submit a form (English & Spanish) to the Board of Election in your County of residence.
* If you are registered to vote and are party unaffiliated (independent), you can declare a party at the polls on the day of the election.
If you are a registered member of the Green Party, Libertarian Party, Natural Law Party, Reform Party, U.S. Constitution Party, Conservative Party or the Socialist Party of New Jersey, and do not wish to change your affiliation, you cannot vote in either the Democratic or Republican Primary
