August 7, 2018 Primary Election

The August 7, 2018 Primary Election is an “open primary.” Voters are not asked to select a party before being issued a ballot. Voters are a ballot containing all political parties and their candidates. In the privacy of the voting booth, you may only vote on one party’s ballot to nominate candidates for the November General Election. Voting for candidates in more than a single party’s column will void the entire partisan section of the ballot.
