The Sixth District has 131,803 registered voters of whom 28.5% are registered Democrats, and 14.7% are registered Republicans. The Sixth has an overwhelming population of elderly and student voters, but has the lowest concentration of Hispanics in the State. The largest township in the Sixth is Cherry Hill, which has almost seventy thousand citizens, nearly doubling the amount of the second highest town, Winslow Township. Cherry Hill serves as a Democratic stronghold in the 3rd Congressional District as well as the 6th Legislative, electing a Democratic Mayor and all Democratic Town Council for more then decade. The Sixth is almost home to unusual municipalities including Pine Valley and Tavistock, each with a population of less then 25.

Democrats in the Sixth outnumber Republicans two-to-one and because of that all three Legislative seats are held by Democrats. A native of Haddonfield, Senator John H. Adler, the current powerful Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee has held his seat since 1992 when he upset veteran GOP Sen. Lee Laskin, who now serves as a Superior Court Judge in Camden County. During the special session of the legislature in the summer of 2006, Adler was named Co-Chairman of the Joint Legislative Committee on Public School Funding Reform. The former Co-Chairman of John Kerry's Presidential Campaign in NJ, Adler raised over $280,000 for a possible 2008 U.S. Senate run, but decided against it when Senator Frank Lautenberg decided to run for re-election.
