The 1964 New Jersey Democratic presidential primary was held on April 21, 1964, in New Jersey as one of the Democratic Party's statewide nomination contests ahead of the 1964 United States presidential election.
In the binding delegate primary, competing slates of uncommitted delegates contested the election on a ballot The New York Times called "one of the most confusing in the state's recent history." In most districts, however, the "Regular Democratic Organization" slate assembled by state and local party leaders ultimately ran unopposed.
In the preference primary held at the same time, no candidate filed to run, but President Johnson easily received a large majority of write-in votes, though fewer than six thousand were cast. In some counties, a write-in vote was difficult or impossible to cast due to the nature of the voting machines used, and no vote was recorded in Cape May or Essex counties.
