The 2025 New Jersey General Assembly election was held on November 4, 2025. New Jersey voters elected two Assembly members in all of the state's legislative districts for a two-year term to the New Jersey General Assembly. Democrats have held a majority in the chamber since 2002, and further expanded their majority in 2023 by six seats. Primary elections took place on June 10, 2025. The in-person early voting period for the general election ran from October 25 to November 2, 2025.
The June primary was the first election to be held since a new ballot law went into effect. The new law was intended to replace the "county line" ballot design, which gave favorable ballot placement to party-endorsed primary candidates and which was declared unconstitutional by a federal court in 2024.Governor Murphy signs bill revamping design of primary ballots, New Jersey Monitor, March 6, 2025 While the elimination of the "county line" resulted in a highly competitive Democratic primary in the 32nd district,Brennan wins one seat in LD-32; race between Bhalla, Ramirez is too close to call, New Jersey Globe, June 10, 2025 in other districts, party-endorsed Democratic and Republican candidates still prevailed.GOP voters pick party-backed Assembly slate over Auriemma twins in LD36, New Jersey Globe, June 10, 2025Haider, Park win crowded Dem Assembly primary in Bergen’s LD-37, New Jersey Globe, June 10, 2025Matchup set in LD38 after primaries on both sides: Tully, Swain vs. Kaiser, Wilkes, New Jersey Globe, June 10, 2025 In the 9th and 10th districts, the Democratic primary resulted in a split between party-endorsed and insurgent candidates.Democrats in deep-red Ocean districts split tickets between Fulop slate, party slate, New Jersey Globe, June 10, 2025
