Democrat,
Ahead of the New Jersey primary election on June 7, ballots have officially been sent out to every Democrat who had previously signed up for the permanent Vote By Mail list. Voting By Mail is a safe, secure, and inclusive way to ensure that everyone can make their voice heard during an election. Despite Republican efforts to make it harder to cast a ballot, everyone eligible has the right to vote.
We can’t stress enough how important the election this year is. In the wake of the decision we see coming out of the Supreme Court, we know that women’s rights are on the ballot, privacy rights are on the ballot, and the right to health care is on the ballot. Simply put, our values are on the line. This is our opportunity to tell the GOP that they won’t be allowed to continue to try to strip Americans of our rights because we are putting pro-choice, pro-women, and pro-democracy candidates into office. Voting in this Primary Election in large numbers will send a message that Democrats are ready for the real battle in November.
If you have not, we encourage you to return your Vote By Mail ballot as soon as you can. There are three ways you can do so:
-
By mail via the postage-paid Ballot Return envelope that comes with each ballot. Ballots must be postmarked on or before 8:00 p.m. Election Day, so get yours in now!
-
Dropping your ballot off in a Secure Ballot Drop Box location, which are open 24 hours a day, by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.
-
Delivering it in person to your County’s Board of Elections Office by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day
If you’ve already sent in your ballot you can track its progress here.
If you are not registered to vote, the deadline to do so before the Primary Election is Tuesday, May 17. Please click here for the online Voter Registration Application.

P.S. If you have not received a ballot and are an active registered voter you are eligible to request a vote-by-mail ballot. Please contact your county clerk to submit a request no later than 7 days before the election.
