NJ voter registration deadline is Tuesday

New Jerseyans looking to pick the state’s next governor have until Tuesday to register in time to vote in this year’s gubernatorial race.
State residents who are U.S. Citizens can register to vote if they are not incarcerated and have lived in their county for at least 30 days preceding Election Day. They must be at least 17 to register, though only those who turn 18 before Nov. 4 are eligible to vote.

Would-be voters can register online or by returning registration applications in person to their county’s superintendent of elections or commissioner of registration, depending on the county. Those offices, like local clerks and some state agencies, can provide voter registration forms.

Those forms can also be obtained online, and officials will accept voter registration applications returned by mail as long as they are postmarked no later than Oct. 14. New Jersey requires voters to be registered 21 days before an election to vote in that race.
