To be eligible to vote in New Jersey the following are requirements: 1) be registered 21 days prior to election day, 2) be a US citizen, 3) be at least 18 years old by election day, 4) have lived in the county for 30 days prior to the election, 5) a person cannot vote if in "jail, on probation or parole", 6) when jail, probation or parole time is served a person may vote again (I believe the person would have to re-register), 7) a person can vote if "a pretrial detainee or free on bail pending an appeal".
