The 2024 United States presidential election in New Jersey is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. New Jersey voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of New Jersey has 14 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state neither gained nor lost a seat.[1]

As a densely-populated state in the Northeast, New Jersey has backed the Democratic candidate in every presidential election starting in 1992, doing so consistently by double digits starting in 2008. In 2020, the state broke 57%–41% for Democrat Joe Biden of neighboring Delaware. However, early polling showed a tighter race in 2024 compared to previous election cycles. Nonetheless, the state is still heavily favored to be carried by the Democrats by forecasters.

Attorney Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed he had gathered enough signatures to appear on the ballot in May 2024,[2] although he later dropped out of the race nationally on August 23.[3][4]
