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.
