how early can you register to vote
The registration deadline to vote in the next election is 21 days prior to election day. You are not eligible to register to vote if: You are serving a sentence or on parole or probation, as a result of a conviction of an indictable offense under state or federal law. 1  Note: If you are no longer serving a sentence, or no longer on parole or probation..., you CAN vote in NJ by completing a new voter registration form (linked above). You only lose your right to vote while on parole, probation or serving a sentence due to a conviction for an indictable offense under any federal or state laws.
