PETITION BASICS

Download, print and circulate a petition. Any New Jersey resident can circulate a petition for any candidate, but only people who live in the district can sign for that office. 

We have a Guide To Petitioning posted on the NJLP website. I find the most useful approach to use is to state "Excuse me I'm trying to get a friend of mine on the ballot. Are you a registered voter?"

PETITIONS MUST BE NOTARIZED BEFORE THEY ARE SUBMITTED

You can get your petition notarized at any bank for free.  If you have difficulty finding a notary, contact the party at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The notary will sign and stamp the last page after watching you sign the Circulator/Witness line.

Once complete your petition contact us to arrange for us to pick up your petition. 

WHEN YOU ARE READY TO SUBMIT YOUR PETITION, PLEASE CONTACT THE CHAIR BY EMAILING This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Print all petitions in proper mode: landscape or portrait! Once an entire set of petitions was rejected because the top header was missing due to a printer mishap!
