In every election, we cast votes on issues that define our lives. We decide whether all people have access to abortion care, whether people will have the power to hold police accountable, whether people have a fair shot in a criminal legal system marred by systemic racial disparities, whether New Jersey is fair and welcoming for all. Whether you plan to vote early, by mail, or in-person on Election Day, we hope that racial and social justice, civil rights, and civil liberties are at the forefront of your mind as you cast your ballot at the polls. Learn more about what's at stake in the November 8 midterm elections.

New Jersey’s 2022 election will be held on Tuesday, Nov. 8. Find your polling place.

Early voting is available to New Jersey voters. The early voting period begins Saturday, October 29, and continues through Sunday, November 6. For more information, visit the New Jersey Division of Elections website.
