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.
