New Jersey on Super Tuesday, February 5th, 2008 will hold a closed primary. Since it’s closed you must declare your party prior to the election in order to vote for the party of your choice. The deadline for choosing your party is December 17th, 2007. NJ however allows for those registered Independent and undecided to pick one of the parties on the day of the election.

Some NJ information. If you are registered as an independent or unaffiliated voter as NJ calls us, you can vote in the primary as either a Republican or Democrat on the primary date.

Just be sure to tell the person at the election table you want to vote in the Republican line and that they give you a BLUE ticket, do not accept a pink one if they try to hand you one.

This information is from the Union county board of Elections. If you are not sure which party you are registered under, call your counties board of elections and they can tell you.

NJ voter registration forms can be found here. Just print it out front and back on a single sheet of paper, fill it out and send it in. No postage necessary. The deadline for general voter registration is 21 days before the election which means January 15th, 2008 for this primary.

For those from other states you may still be able to change your registered party. Visit  PrimarilyPaul.com to find out more information.
