- If you are enrolled in a party and that party is participating in the Primary, then you may only vote your party's ballot.
- If you are enrolled in a party and that party is not participating in the Primary, then you may not vote in the Primary Election.
- If you are Unenrolled (not affiliated with any party), you may stay unenrolled and choose 1 party's ballot to vote in the Primary Election.
The rules for changing party enrollment are as follows:
- Once you have enrolled in a party you must stay in that party for 90 days.
- If you change your party, it must be done more than 15 days prior to a Primary Election to be eligible to receive your new party's ballot. The deadline to change your party prior to the June 11th State Primary is May 24, 2024.
