GOP continues slow march on Dems in Sept. voter registration data

The number of voters on New Jersey’s rolls increased by more than 11,000 in September, with modest increases from Republicans and a continued drop-off for Democrats, according to new state data.

Democrats maintain a hefty voter registration lead over the GOP, but shed more than 4,000 voters in September, dropping from 2,529,708 to 2,525,346. Republicans, meanwhile, continued their slow but consistent gains on their opponents, adding 2,385 in September, from 1,667,912 to 1,670,297.

Most new voters signed up as unaffiliated voters — more than 13,000 registrants were added to the unaffiliated rolls last month for a total of 2,340,583.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-Montclair) faces Republican former Assemblyman Jack Ciattarelli in next month’s gubernatorial election. Mail-in voting has already started.
