New Jersey’s Primary Election Day is this Tuesday, June 2, and offers registered Democrats and Republicans the opportunity to select their party’s candidates for this fall’s General Election.
For voters planning to cast ballots tomorrow, here are a few helpful reminders and tips:
✅ You must declare a party to vote in the New Jersey Primary
New Jersey is a closed primary, which means only declared Republicans and Democrats can cast ballots in their party’s respective primaries.
Unaffiliated voters can participate by declaring a party affiliation with the Republican or Democratic party in advance of the election or at the polls during early voting or Primary Election Day.
Registered Republicans and Democrats cannot switch parties on Primary Election Day.
🗳️ Where to vote on Tuesday, June 2
On Primary Election Day, voters should report to their assigned polling location. Voters should check their sample ballot for their specific voting location, especially voters in Bordentown Township, Burlington Township, Eastampton, Evesham, Lumberton, Moorestown, North Hanover, Pemberton, Tabernacle and Westampton, where the boundaries of voting districts were changed.
There were also polling location changes in Burlington City and Willingboro.
In addition to checking their sample ballot, voters can search for their assigned polling location online at https://voter.svrs.nj.gov/polling-place-search .
🕑 When do polls open and close?
Polls will open at 6 AM and remain open until 8 PM. Voters who are in line by 8 PM on June 2 have the right to vote, and polling places will remain open until the last voter in line at 8 PM has voted.
🗳️ Familiarize yourself with the voting equipment
Burlington County voters headed to the polls for the New Jersey Primary Election are encouraged to review an online video explaining how to cast their ballot with the County’s voting machines.
The machines consist of touch-screen ballot marking devices with printers and separate tabulation machines used to cast ballots after they are printed.
The video walks viewers through every step in the voting process – beginning with sign-in at the polls to selection, printing and casting ballots. It’s a great resource for new voters and offers a beneficial refresher for voters who have used the machines previously.
