Official Election Information for No Party Preference Voters

March 3, 2020 Election Banner

Dear California Voter,

You are receiving this email because you are registered to vote with No Party Preference.

If you want to vote for U.S. President in the March 3, 2020 Presidential Primary Election, you must request a ballot with presidential candidates.

You can choose a ballot from one of the three parties that allow No Party Preference voters to participate in their Presidential Primary Elections:

  • American Independent Party
  • Democratic Party
  • Libertarian Party

NOTE: The political parties decide if they will allow No Party Preference voters to participate in their presidential primaries.

 

If you vote-by-mail…

Your county elections official will send you a postcard that will allow you to request an American Independent, Democratic, or Libertarian Party ballot. Once you make your selection, return it in the mail.

If you do not return this postcard, you will be mailed a ballot without any presidential candidates. If this happens, you can still request a ballot from your county elections official by:

  • Phone
  • Email
  • Fax

To contact your county elections office, visit our County Elections Offices page.

You can also bring your vote-by-mail ballot to your local polling place or vote center and exchange it for a ballot with presidential candidates.

 

If you vote at the polls…

Ask the poll worker for a ballot with either American Independent, Democratic, or Libertarian Party presidential candidates when checking-in at a polling place.

 

Voting in the Green, Peace and Freedom, or Republican Party Primary...

If you want to vote for the Green, Peace and Freedom, or Republican Parties' presidential candidates, you must re-register with that specific party.

 

To re-register to vote...

You can re-register to vote online at registertovote.ca.gov. If you need to re-register after February 18, 2020, you can do so in person at a polling place, any vote center, or your county elections office
