Primary vs General Election 

Primary Elections: In a NJ primary election, members of the Democrat and Republican party will vote for who they want to represent their party in the general elections. Only voters who have associated with either the Democrat or Republican party can vote in a primary election. If a voter is unaffiliated, the voter can declare a party on election day at the polls. If you are an all-future vote-by-mail, unaffiliate, voter, you must declare your party of choice in advance to receive a ballot in the mail. The Primary election takes place on the first Tuesday, after the first Monday, in June.

General Elections: Every registered voter is eligible to vote on election day. Each voter has the ability to vote for any candidate of their choosing. The candidate for each contest who receives the most votes in the General Election is the official winner for that office. The General election takes place on the first Tuesday, after the first Monday, in November.
