In 2015, Jersey Republicans outpaced Democrats on voter registration by over a 2:1 margin, and cut away the Demcorats’ registration edge to under 900,000 from over 1 million four years ago. This also means that nearly 1.5% of the entire voter registration gap was reduced in a single month.
At the start of the year, New Jersey had nine more Democrats than it did in January 2021 - while there are 184,026 more Republicans.
