About the Primaries
Voters will decide which candidate they want to see on their party’s ballot for the November general election.
At the polls, they will be asked which party’s ballot they prefer before entering the voting booth. Registration with either party is not required, but voters who cast ballots in the Republican primary cannot switch to voting for a Democrat in the event of a May 26 primary runoff. Democrats cannot switch either.
Primary runoffs occur when a candidate does not receive at least 50% of the votes.
You don’t have to vote in the primary to cast ballots in a runoff election.
You don’t need your voter registration card at the polls, just an approved photo ID like a driver’s license.
