Important information regarding the presidential primary election:

Your right to vote in the presidential primary depends on your political party registration. If you are registered with a political party, you can only vote for a candidate running for president in that party. A “No Party Preference” voter will automatically receive a non-partisan ballot, that will have no presidential candidates listed.

However, upon request, a “No Party Preference” voter can instead receive a ballot to vote the presidential ballot of the following parties:

• American Independent Party
• Democratic Party
• Libertarian Party

There are 34 candidates for U.S. senator on the ballot. Look at your ballot carefully, officials noted, and be sure to cast only one vote for U.S. senator or your vote will not count.
