What is a Primary Election?

It’s the election before the election. In primary elections, you decide which candidate will be your party’s nominee for the general election. You must be a member of a political party to vote in a primary. Learn more about types of elections

Where can I find information about the candidates who will be on the ballot?

To learn more about the candidates on your ballot, you can get information in our online voter guide. Before the election, you can enter in your address in our 'Meet the Candidates' section to find which offices will be on your ballot and a list of candidates running for each office. You can also find profiles submitted by candidates, including videos and more.

Do I have to join a political party when I register?

No. You do not have to join a political party when you register to vote. However, only members of political parties are eligible to vote in primary elections. So if you’d like to vote in primary elections for a particular party, you should join that party when you register. Learn more about primary elections

How does Ranked Choice Voting work?

You can rank up to five candidates in order of preference, instead of choosing just one. If a candidate receives more than 50% of 1st-choice votes, they are the winner. If no candidate earns more than 50% of 1st-choice votes, then counting will continue in rounds. At the end of each round, the candidate with the fewest votes will be eliminated. If you ranked that candidate 1st, your vote will go to the next highest ranked candidate on your ballot. This process will continue until there are two candidates left. The candidate with the most votes wins. Learn more about Ranked Choice Voting

关于 6 月初选的常见问题解答

什么是初选？

在哪里可以找到选票上候选人的相关信息？

要了解有关您选票上的候选人的更多信息，您可以在我们的在线《选民指南》中获取信息。在选举之前，您可以在我们的“认识候选人”部分输入您的地址，以查找选票上有哪些公职，以及参选每个公职的候选人名单。您还可以查看候选人提交的个人资料，包括视频等。

在登记时，我是否一定要加入某个政党？

排名选择投票的运行规则是怎样的？

您最多可以按优先顺序对五位候选人进行排名，而非只能选择一人。如果候选人获得的第 1 选择投票超过 50%，则将成为获胜者。如果没有候选人获得超过 50% 的第 1 选择投票，则计票将按轮次继续。每轮结束时，得票最少的候选人将被淘汰。如果您的第 1 选择候选人被淘汰，那么您的选票将转投给上面排名第二的候选人。这个过程将一直持续，直到仅剩下两位候选人。得票数最多的候选人获胜！
