Early voting for the August 13th Primary has begun. Voting in the Primary is key because it let you pick who gets to run in the November Election. If you skip it, you might end up with candidates you don't like. It also gives you the chance to weigh in on issues before the general crowd does. You have three ways to vote in the Primary: 

  1. On Election Day at your polling place

What is a primary election?

A primary election determines which candidates will be on the ballot in the November general election.

For example, five candidates from one political party might run for governor. Only one candidate can be on the ballot in November. The winner of the August primary election will represent their party on the November election ballot.

There may be two kinds of offices on your primary ballot: partisan offices and nonpartisan offices.
