Are you eligible to vote in New Jersey and want to register in person? Yes, you can register at the Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) when applying for or renewing a driver’s license or non-driver ID. The MVC will report this information to the New Jersey Division of Elections.
The deadline to register to vote is 21 days before Election Day.
If you are not conducting a driver’s license or non-driver ID transaction and wish to register to vote or change your address with the Division of Elections, please visit the New Jersey Division of Elections website at www.NJELECTIONS.org or call 1-877-NJVOTER (1-877-658-6837) to have a registration form mailed to you.
You can also change your voter registration address by doing so online through the MVC website. After you change your address with MVC, you will be asked if you want the address change to update your voter registration record. Make sure to click “Yes” on the electronic signature pad when answering this question and the MVC will send a notification to the Division of Elections, informing them of your change.
A change of address confirmation page will also be provided to you at the end of the transaction. Please visit www.NJELECTIONS.org for more voter information.
Your County Commissioner of Registration will notify you if your application is accepted. If it is not accepted, you will be notified how to complete and/or correct the application.
Address changes reported online or by mail with the MVC will be forwarded to the New Jersey Division of Elections. If you do not receive confirmation of the change, please contact your local Commissioner of Registration. A list of Commissioners can be found at nj.gov/state/elections/voting-information-local-officials.html.
If you want to receive a driver’s license or non-driver ID card displaying your new address, you must visit a Motor Vehicle Commission agency. You will be required to provide the 6 Points of ID verification requirements and pay a fee.
