Voter Registration
Democracy is not a spectator sport. It requires continual work to protect it and keep it strong. As a citizen, your active civic participation as a voter is essential in that process. In New Jersey as a 17 year old you can register to vote now and your voter registration will become active on your 18th birthday. If you are 18, register now so you can participate in the May election for Mayor and City Council.
Eligible students can register by mail to vote in New Jersey by printing a voter registration form, filling it out, and mailing it to your County Commissioner of Registration/Superintendent of Elections. You can also register to vote in person if you prefer. New Jersey offers online voter registration for eligible students.
