Vote New Jersey

Monmouth County, NJ - In Monmouth County, out of 505,732 registered voters, only 363,680 cast their ballots in the 5 November 2024 election. This means that 142,052 eligible voters in Monmouth County, New Jersey, did not vote. Unfortunately, Monmouth County is not alone in this trend.  Every county in New Jersey experienced significant voter absenteeism.  In Atlantic County, 76,616 registered voters did not vote.  In Bergen County, 221,063 eligible voters abstained from voting, while 105,463 registered voters did not participate in Mercer County, N.J. "Total Number of Registered Voters, Ballots Cast, Ballots Rejected, Percentage of Ballots Cast, and the Total Number of Election Districts in New Jersey General Election, 5 November 2024" https://www.nj.gov/state/elections/assets/pdf/election-results/2024/2024-official-general-voter-turnout.pdf


When we tally the eligible voters who chose not to vote across all New Jersey counties during the 4 November 2024 election, we find a staggering total of 2,360,778 (two million, three hundred sixty, seven hundred and seventy-eight) individuals who did not make their voices heard.  As we approach the critical Governor's race on 4 November 2025, we cannot afford to have these voters sit on the sidelines.

The consequences of voter apathy could lead to the election of a Trump-aligned candidate, one who may perpetuate ongoing schemes and exhibit racist and incompetent behavior.  Such leadership seeks to transform our government into a profit-driven entity rather than a compassionate institution that prioritizes the welfare of women and children.  Integrity should triumph over greed and unethical behavior.


It is imperative that we encourage every eligible voter to exercise their right and responsibility to vote.  Our children's future and the safety of our families should not be left in the hands of politicians who idolize divisive figures and their harmful agendas.  The alarming influence of certain groups, such as the Southern Evangelicals and the Christian Coalition, must not cloud our judgment or govern our decisions.  Their troubling rhetoric, including the misguided notion that 14-year-olds can be viewed as adults in relationships, represents a moral failure that we must reject.

As mature and responsible voters, we cannot allow the mistakes of the past to overshadow our progress or dictate New Jersey's future. We need a political landscape that fosters diplomacy, growth, and unity. And not racist rhetoric promoted by the Trinity Broadcast Network or 700 Club.



Let's work together to motivate ourselves and others to head to the polls. Ensure that you not only vote yourself but also encourage friends and family to join you. We have the power to elect candidates who will govern with decency, order, and intelligence. The time for action is now; let's stand against confusion, ignorance, and false ideologies. Your vote matters—let's make it count!
