Voter Registration Deadlines for Upcoming Statewide Elections (New Jersey, New York, Virginia, and more)!

Posted: 11 Oct 2017 05:17 AM PDT

Introduction

On November 7th, 2017, voters in New Jersey, New York, and Virginia will be headed to the polls for various elections. Utah will be hosting a special election for its third Congressional district, following former Congressman Jason Chaffetz' resignation earlier in the summer. The registration deadline for that election has since passed.

New Jersey and Virginia will be holding their gubernatorial elections, where both races feature term-limited incumbents. The entire New Jersey legislature will be up for election (the General Assembly and State Senate) while the entire Virginia House of Delegates will be up for election (the State Senate and House of Delegates will be up for election in 2019).

Various municipalities in New York will be holding general election contests for Mayor and city government, among them New York City. In addition, New York will be voting on whether to hold a state Constitutional Convention in 2018 (pursuant to a provision of the New York State Constitution which mandates a ballot measure on this issue every 20 years).

Voter registration deadlines are coming up though! Below is some information to help readers find the resources to register. Please register to vote if you are capable of doing so!
