The 2025 New Jersey General Assembly election will be held on November 4, 2025. New Jersey voters will elect two Assembly members in all of the state's legislative districts for a two-year term to the New Jersey General Assembly. [1] Democrats have held a majority in the chamber since 2002, and further expanded their majority in 2023 by 6 seats. Primary elections took place on June 10, 2025.

Contents

The June primary is the first election to be held since a new ballot law went into effect. The new law is 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. [2] While the elimination of the "county line" resulted in a highly competitive Democratic primary in the 32nd District, [3] in other districts, party-endorsed Democratic and Republican candidates still prevailed. [4] [5] [6] In the 9th and 10th Districts, the Democratic primary resulted in a split between party-endorsed and insurgent candidates. [7]

    District 7

    Special replacement convention

    Incumbent Assemblyman Herb Conaway resigned in order to take his seat in Congress, after winning his election in the 3rd congressional district in 2024. [50] Under the state constitution, vacancies must be filled within 35 days by the members of the county committee of the political party that the outgoing member was a part of. [47] Burlington County Democratic Chair Matt Riggins originally proposed a "caretaker" proposal, where there would be an interim caretaker who would finish Conaway's term but pledge not to run for the full term in order to not give an "incumbency advantage." [51] Gillespie backed the plan and pledged not to run to fill the remainder of Conaway's term, while Singh saying he would run in the special replacement convention. [52] [53] Outgoing County Commissioner Daniel O'Connell entered the replacement convention while pledging not to run for the full term in the June primary. [54] After the Democratic county committee members voted down the caretaker plan proposed by Riggins, Gillespie entered the replacement convention while O'Connell withdrew. [55] On January 25, Singh defeated Gillespie to fill the vacancy. [56]
