The 2016 United States presidential election in New Jersey was held on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. New Jersey voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine.

On June 7, 2016,[1] in the presidential primaries, New Jersey voters will express their preferences for the Democratic, Republican, and Libertarian parties' respective nominees for President. Registered members of each party may only vote in their party's primary, while voters who are unaffiliated may choose any one primary in which to vote.

Hillary Clinton won the election in New Jersey with 55.0% of the vote, a 4.4% reduced margin from President Obama in 2012.[2] Donald Trump received 42.0% of the vote.[3]
