The November 3, 2026 General Election will determine the makeup of Congress for the next two years. Every seat in the House of Representatives is up for election, along with one-third of the Senate.

 

In New Jersey, Sen. Cory Booker is running for re-election. And in New Jersey's 7th Congressional District, Rebecca Bennett is the Democratic candidate to take back the House seat from Trump's Republican Party. A Democratic victory here could flip the House majority and break Trump's hold on Congress!

New Jersey law allows any registered voter to vote by mail if they choose.

• To apply for a mail-in ballot, follow the instructions here.

 

The ballot comes with instructions for filling it out and returning it. Be sure to follow them exactly! You can put your ballot in the U.S. Mail or drop it in a Secure Drop Box. Locations of those drop boxes will be announced this fall and posted here.
