New Jersey has more than 6.7 million registered voters, and nearly 100,000 more than the roughly 6.61 million on the rolls before last year's governor's race. About 4.32 million, or nearly two-thirds, are registered with a political party.
Why it matters
The town-by-town breakdown shows where Democrats, Republicans and unaffiliated voters each hold a local advantage across New Jersey. It gives residents and observers a granular view of the state's partisan makeup ahead of Tuesday's Election Day.
Democrats outnumber Republicans in 297 of the state's 564 municipalities, while Republicans lead in 267 and unaffiliated voters outnumber both parties in 156 towns. Hudson and Essex are the only counties where Democrats make up a majority of voters, at 52% each.
The players
New Jersey Division of Elections
The state agency that oversees voter registration and election administration in New Jersey, and which released the town-by-town party registration data.
The details
The state map shades each municipality by how far Democrats or Republicans lead in the share of registered voters, and users can search a town name or tap a municipality to see its full party breakdown. Maplewood and Lawnside show Democratic registration near 70%, while Newark voters are about 53% Democratic.
Timeline
Tuesday: New Jersey voters head to the polls on Election Day.
Last year's governor's race: roughly 6.61 million voters were on the rolls before the race.
Political Context
The release is drawn from the state's official voter rolls, which track registration growth against the roughly 6.61 million voters on the books before last year's governor's race. The party splits show Democrats leading statewide while unaffiliated voters hold the largest single bloc in Bergen County.
Residents can look up their own town on the state map to see which party holds the registration edge where they vote. The breakdown shows the partisan balance in each municipality before polls close on Tuesday.
The takeaway
Party registration varies sharply from town to town, so a statewide average hides much of how New Jersey votes. Checking your own municipality on the map offers a clearer picture of the local political makeup.
