Students in New Jersey, ranging from grades 4 to 12, voted primarily via electronic ballots. Students submitted votes for candidates for the House of Representatives.

Students either submitted their ballots individually online or a representative from each participating school district collected the voting results and submitted them via an online form. Schools from all 12 congressional districts participated with a total of roughly 24,400 students casting votes.

The color of the district represents the candidate that received the most votes. Red represents the Republican candidate, blue represents the Democratic candidate, and green represents any third party candidate.
