Notice of Requirements to Vote in Primary Election   State law requires that certain voters file a Declaration of Party Affiliation form no later than 55 days before the date of a Primary Election in order to vote in that election. The Primary Election will be held on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. Therefore, voters who are required to file these forms must complete a Declaration of Party Affiliation form and file it with the Municipal Clerk or the County Commissioner of Registration no later than April 8, 2026, in order to be eligible to vote in the Primary Election.   YOU MUST FILE A DECLARATION OF PARTY AFFILIATION FORM IF YOU WISH TO VOTE IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION OF A POLITICAL PARTY, OTHER THAN THE PARTY WITH WHICH YOU ARE CURRENTLY AFFILIATED.   You need not file a Declaration of Party Affiliation form by April 8, 2026, in order to vote in the June 2, 2026, Primary Election if:   1. You are currently affiliated with the political party in who’s Primary you wish to vote.   2. You have never declared a political party and have never previously voted in a Primary Election. You may declare your party affiliation at the polling place on the day of the Primary Election. Your choice of party affiliation can then be changed only if you complete a Declaration of Party form and file it with the Municipal Clerk or the County Commissioner of Registration.   3. You are a newly registered voter and the June 2, 2026, Primary Election is the first Primary at which you are eligible to vote.   4. A voter who is listed to receive mail-in ballots for all future elections, pursuant to the provisions of section 3 of P.L.2009, c.79 (C.19:63-3) or section 14 of P.L. 2018, c.72 (C.19:63-3.1), and who is not affiliated with any political party shall not receive a mail-in ballot for a Primary Election. Such unaffiliated mail-in voters shall receive a political party declaration form and information concerning how to affiliate with a political party and how to vote in person at a polling place the day of a Primary Election.   As of January 1, 2006, voters previously declared “INDEPENDENT” are by law, now classified as “UNAFFILIATED”.   • Unaffiliated voters may declare their affiliation with a political party by filing a Declaration of Party Affiliation form, as described above. They may then vote in the Primary Election.   • An unaffiliated voter may, however, choose instead to declare affiliation with either the Democratic or Republican parties at the polling place on the day of the Primary Election.   DEADLINE FOR FILING DECLARATION OF PARTY AFFILIATION FORMS IS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 2026.   You may obtain party affiliation declaration forms from the office of the Commissioner of Registration at the address below, either in person, by writing, or by telephoning the number below, or from your Municipal Clerk’s office.   A voter who votes in the Primary Election of a political party, or who signs and files with the Municipal Clerk or the County Commissioner of Registration a declaration that the voter desires to vote in the Primary Election of a political party, or who indicates on a voter registration form the voter’s choice of political party affiliation and submits the form to the Commissioner of Registration of the County wherein the voter resides, to the employees or agents of a public agency, as defined in subsection a. of section 15 of P.L.1974, c.30 (C.19:31-6.3), or a voter registration agency, as defined in subsection a. of section 26 of P.L.1994, c182 (C. 19:31-6.11) or to the Secretary of State, either on a paper form or an electronic form using the online voter registration system established under section 1 of P.L.2019, c.382 (C.19:31-6.4c) shall be deemed to be a member of that party until the voter signs and files with the Municipal Clerk or the Commissioner of Registration a declaration that the voter desires to vote in the Primary Election of another political party, at which time the voter shall be deemed to be a member of such other political party, or that the voter chooses not to be affiliated with any political party.   Copies of the form are also available online at the County’s website: http://co.burlington.nj.us/, or at the website of the Division of Elections: http://nj.gov/state/elections/assets/pdf/forms-party-affiliation/party-affiliation-form.pdf   Burlington County Commissioner of Registration 301 Harper Drive, Moorestown, NJ 08057 PO Box 6000, Mount Holly, NJ 08060 609-265-5111 3/22, 3/29/2026 ($127.72)
