Who Can Register?

To register in New Jersey you must be:...

a United States citizen,

at least 18 years old by the next election,

a resident of the county for 30 days before the election.

You are not eligible to register to vote if:...

you are serving a sentence or on parole or probation, as a result of a conviction of an indictable offense under state or federal law.

Note:
If you are no longer serving a sentence, or no longer on parole or probation..., you CAN vote in NJ by completing a new voter registration form.

If you have any questions, please contact your county commissioner of registration.

If you were registered to vote before you were convicted, you must complete a new voter registration register form once you have served your time.

You only lose your right to vote while you are serving a sentence, are on probation or parole.

If you are a pre-trial detainee or on bail pending appeal, you do not lose your right to vote.
