In a primary election, a voter who is registered in a political party is restricted to the ballot for the party in which the voter is registered. The "unenrolled" voter (Independent) may choose a ballot for any party participating in the primary election without changing the voter's "unenrolled" status.
If you are disabled and need assistance, you may have someone accompany you who can provide the needed assistance. Assistance may also be requested from election workers.
