The deadline to register to vote in the June 8 primary election is Tuesday, May 18, the State Division of Elections noted. Applications are available at county and municipal offices, and available online at the Division of Elections Web site: www.NJElections.org. The registration applications downloaded from the website must be mailed to the county Commissioner of Registration or Superintendent of Elections in a resident’s home county because original signatures are required. To register in New Jersey, you must be a United States citizen, at least 18 years old by the next election and a resident of the county for thirty days before the election.
New Jersey’s primary election law allows unaffiliated voters to choose a party on Primary Day and vote in the primary. However, voters already registered as Democrats can only vote in the Democratic primary; similarly, voters already registered as Republicans can only vote in the Republican primary. Star Ledger
If you are not sure if you are a registered republican or democrat you are probably not affiliated and should go and vote.if you want to be a democrat later you can always switch for the next election.there is no democratic primary this year.if you are not registered, now is the time to make a difference for real. Everyone will be comin out in droves. We have been waiting for this for years. HH will be victorious, and so will the people of lakewood.
why is may 18 the deadline for registering but 50 days are required to change to unaffiliated ?
