RegistrationNew Jersey’s official state election site says the voter-registration deadline for the November 3, 2026 General Election is October 13, 2026.Official details ↗

Early votingNew Jersey says in-person early voting for the 2026 General Election runs from October 24, 2026 through November 1, 2026. The state says each county will set up early-voting sites, and registered voters may vote in person at those sites. The state also says a voter who is registered to vote by mail must opt out before voting in person on a machine at early voting.Official details ↗

Absentee or mailNew Jersey uses the term ‘Mail-In Ballot’ on its official site. The state says you must request a mail ballot not less than 7 days before the election if you want it mailed to you. If you miss that window, you must get it in person from your county clerk by 3:00 p.m. the day before Election Day. To return it, the state says you may mail it, drop it off in person, or use an authorized secure drop box. A mailed ballot must be postmarked on or before 8:00 p.m. on Election Day. Ballots returned in person or by drop box must be in by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day.Official details ↗

What may still change

I found no official New Jersey state page yet listing any certified statewide ballot measures for the November 3, 2026 general election. The Division of Elections 2026 election page shows general election information, but the visible items on that page are candidate listings, not certified statewide ballot questions. The state publications page also does not show a voter guide or ballot-question packet in the visible 2026 materials. ([nj.gov](https://www.nj.gov/state/elections/election-information-2026.shtml))
Because you asked for every certified statewide measure and said not to invent missing information, I am returning no ballot-measure items rather than guessing from introduced resolutions or pending proposals. Some legislative resolutions I found are proposals only, not proof of certification for the November 3, 2026 ballot. ([pub.njleg.state.nj.us](https://pub.njleg.state.nj.us/Bills/2026/SCR/23_I1.HTM?utm_source=openai))
The official New Jersey certification page I found for the 2026 general election currently shows only the U.S. Senate certification PDF on the main election-information page; I did not find a separate official statewide-office certification PDF for the November 3, 2026 ballot in the sources available to me.
Because of that, I can confirm the certified U.S. Senate candidates from the official certification PDF, but I cannot confidently list any statewide elected-office races as certified from an official New Jersey source in this search session without risking error.
I excluded U.S. House, state legislative, judicial-retention, county, city, and local races as requested.
The state’s pages use both 'mail-in ballot' and 'vote-by-mail ballot'; they appear to mean the same ballot type.
The official site also lists later receipt dates for some mailed ballots, including ballots with no postmark or ballots postmarked on time but received after Election Day; I did not infer those as deadlines because you asked for deadlines only and said never to infer a deadline.
I checked the New Jersey Division of Elections pages on September 3, 2026; if the state updates its calendar, these dates can change.
