Freehold DMV question [View all]

Today was the third time I went to the DMV to renew my license and the third time I've been turned away.

The first time the lines were too long. Fine.

Second time a police officer working the admittance counter tells me I'm going to want to come back later in the month because the software for the new license ID isn't installed yet.

Fast forward later in the month to today, lady tells me to come back in May when the new software is there.

Me: I was told the new software would be ready this month.

Lady: You misunderstood.

Question for DU: Am I going to need the new driver's license to vote in November?

I registered to vote a couple elections ago.

Will I have to re-register for a new voter I.D. with the new license?

Or is a license renewal totally unrelated to voting?

Thanks!
