How this list is made
- The sources are two official lists of the New Jersey Division of Elections: for U.S. Senate, the Certification of Nominees of July 27, 2026; for the U.S. House, the Official List dated September 4, 2026. Both were downloaded on October 6, 2026.
- Both lists print their own totals by party. The number read from each list equals its totals.
- Names, and each party or ballot designation, are shown exactly as the lists print them, in capitals where the lists use capitals. Nothing is re-spelled.
- Every candidate is shown the same way: a name and a party or designation, with no photos, endorsements or ratings.
- The lists can change if a candidate withdraws or is replaced. The Division of Elections' own lists are the final word.
