Step 1: Voter registration/Party declaration

To register to vote, declare or change party affiliation to Republican, click here to print out the voter registration application and mail it in. Registration deadline is 21 days before the election. The primary election is June 3rd, which means your application needs to be received by May 13th. Don't delay and forget to do this!

Step 2: Absentee Ballot Voting

In New Jersey, any voter can now vote by Absentee Ballot for any election. You do not need a reason to vote by Absentee Ballot.

A voter may apply for an absentee ballot by completing an Absentee Ballot Application (click here) and mailing the application to their County Clerk up to 7 days prior to the election. This means by May 27th. A voter may also apply in person to the County Clerk until 3:00 p.m., the day before the election. The County Clerk cannot accept faxed copies of an Absentee Ballot Application since an original signature is required.
