New Jersey seats scoreboard
Unofficial
Unofficial results. These are unofficial totals from the counties listed, not the full vote. County boards of canvassers meet on November 18 and the Board of State Canvassers certifies by December 3, and counts can change. “Leads” means ahead in the counties listed, never a call.
As of , unofficial, per each county clerk’s or board of elections’ own unofficial report (county sites): 13 New Jersey contests are loaded. In the unofficial count, Statewide (1 contest): Republicans lead 0, Democrats lead 0; U.S. House (12 contests): Republicans lead 1, Democrats lead 7. A lead is not a call.
Pick an office on the left and a filter on top. Every contest is one row, set against the same seat in 2022 and 2024. Everyone sees the statewide contests and the five closest seats in each chamber; Pro opens every district.
Unofficial county reports, added up here. Nothing is called.
- Names are shown as the counties print them; names the counties print in all capitals are set in capitals and small letters.
- Independent candidates run under a slogan of their choice on the New Jersey ballot, so no party is shown for them. Write-in votes are not added to any candidate.
- Unofficial county reports, added up here from each county’s own site. Counts can change, and nothing is called: “Leads” means ahead in the counties listed, never a call.
- A district shows a leader only when every county named in its header is on file. That is not the same as every precinct counted, so each row also gives the precincts reported in the listed counties. A district with a county missing, or none on file, shows no leader, and its margin is for the listed counties only.
- U.S. House districts cross county lines, and most counties are in more than one district. A county that holds only part of a district reports that part separately, so county rows are never added to a county total here.
- A district shows who is ahead only when every county named in its header is on file; that does not mean its precincts are all counted, and nothing here is final or called. A district with a county missing, or with none on file, shows no leader, and its margin (when shown) is for the listed counties only.
- A district that includes only part of a county is built from that county’s own report for the district, so a county listed once can serve two districts.
The state page lists results from approved rows drawn from state results feeds and Wikipedia; those are not the counts on this desk, which shows the unofficial reports of the counties we have read, with counties not yet read left blank. See the state page.
Counties are still being listed. Each seat shows only the counties whose results we have read, labeled with how many that is. A county not listed is never filled in, and no seat is called until every county is listed.

- District maps: There are no State Senate, General Assembly or U.S. House district maps on this page; the seats are shown on the grid only. No legislative seat is up in 2026. County outlines are U.S. Census Bureau cartographic boundaries (public domain).
- Which seats appear: the only statewide contest on the 2026 ballot, the U.S. Senate seat, and all 12 U.S. House seats. The State Senate is next elected in 2027 and the General Assembly was elected in 2025, so no legislative seat is here. A seat shows how many of its counties are listed, and the 2022 column for the U.S. Senate seat reads “Not listed” because New Jersey had no statewide contest that year. County, municipal and school board contests are in the county reports but are not on this board.
- Margin: Republican votes minus Democratic votes, as points of all votes in the seat. A seat with one candidate shows “Unopposed”. Shift: this year’s margin minus the margin in the year you compare with. Leads change: the leading party in the unofficial count differs from the latest earlier contest for the same seat (2024 if it was on the ballot, otherwise 2022). It describes the count so far; nothing is called.
- District lines: New Jersey has 12 U.S. House districts. The map adopted in December 2021 was used in 2022 and 2024, and the Division of Elections’ 2026 candidate list names exactly the same counties for all 12 districts as its 2024 Official List, so we found no change for 2026. A mid-decade redraw was discussed in 2026 but we found none enacted. Most districts include part of a county, and a district shows the county portions the state and the counties report.
