Every year two elections are held – the Primary (in June) and General Election (in November). The Primary election determines which candidate for a political party will be eligible to run in the General election. The General election determines who will win the position.
In 2018, Primary Election Day is June 5, and General Election Day is November 6.
Early voting in New Jersey is done via a Mail-in Ballot, whether you are early voting by mail or in person.
In order to vote early, you must apply for a Mail-in Ballot. Mail-in Ballots are available 45 days before an election.
In 2018, the last day you can apply to receive a ballot by mail is May 29 for the Primary and October 30 for the General election.
Mail-in Ballots can also be picked up or filled out in person until 3 p.m. the Monday prior to an election.
