Presidential Primary Basics:

  • The Presidential Primary is March 5 and ballots begin to mail February 12.
  • Registered Democrats will receive only the Democratic Party ballot. For candidates names, see the Democratic sample ballot.
  • Registered Republicans will receive only the Republican Party ballot. For candidate names, see the Republican sample ballot.
  • Note that ballots are printed in early January and some candidates may drop out but still be listed on the ballot.
  • Minor parties do not hold presidential primaries.  
  • February 12 is the deadline to switch party affiliation if you want to vote in a different primary. However, due to mailing deadlines, we recommend changing your party affiliation earlier in order to receive the correct ballot.
  • By law, unaffiliated voters will be mailed both major party (Dem and Rep) ballots but can only vote and return one ballot. See Unaffiliated FAQ for more details.

For more information, see our Election Information page.
