N.J. adds 8k voters in April, mostly unaffiliated

New Jersey’s voter rolls grew by more than 8,000 people in April, once again mostly unaffiliated voters, according to state data.

New Jersey now holds 6,679,849 registered voters, 8,712 more than last month. Of all registrants, 38.0% are Democrats, 25.1% are Republicans, and 35.8% are unaffiliated — no major changes from last month.

Democrats once maintained a one-million registered-voter advantage over the GOP, and Republicans chipped away at the difference in recent years, though their progress has stalled in recent months. Democrats added 2,916 voters in April, more than the GOP’s 394. Unaffiliated voters once again accounted for the majority of growth, an increase of 5,360 last month.

In the competitive 7th congressional district — where four Democrats are looking to challenge Rep. Tom Kean Jr. (R-Westfield) — Democrats added 321 registrants, while Republicans added 17. The 7th now holds 634,824 registered voters: 34.2% Republican, 31.1% Democratic, and 33.6% unaffiliated.
