If you have never voted in a primary election in New Jersey, chances are you are registered as an "unaffilated" voter. In New Jersey, only people who filled out a party declaration form or who voted in a previous Democratic primary are registered Democrats. That is why the majority of voters in New Jersey are unaffiliated with either party.

The good news is this means that if you are willing to declare your party affiliation you can vote in the Democratic presidential primary. All you do is show up at your polling place on election day and tell the poll worker you want to affiliate with the party. You will sign a form then you'll be able to vote, and voila -- you're a member of the Democratic Party!
