Unaffiliated Voters

Unaffiliated voters are eligible to vote in all elections.

In a Primary Election, a registered unaffiliated voter will receive a mail ballot packet with both a Democratic Party ballot and a Republican Party ballot. Complete instructions will be provided with your mail ballot packet. You may vote only one ballot. Discard the ballot you choose not to vote. Return your one voted ballot in the return envelope and sign the back. Please note that if you vote and return both ballots, neither will be counted.

In a General Election, a registered unaffiliated voter will receive the same ballot as voters affiliated with major parties. Your ballot must be received by the Clerk and Recorder’s Office by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day. Return your ballot in one of the secure 24-hour ballot drop boxes, by mail or in person. Postmarks do not count.

If voting in person during a Primary Election, the unaffiliated voter will choose which party’s ballot to vote.

Voting a specific party’s primary ballot will not affiliate you with that party, you will remain registered as unaffiliated.
