California allows “No Party Preference” voters to vote in the Democratic primary, but that is different from “Independent” – Ensure you are registered either as a Democrat, “No Party Preference”, “Undeclared”, “Unaffiliated”, or some variation thereof.

When voting, be sure to ask for the Democratic ballot if you want to vote for Bernie!

If you are a permanent vote-by-mail (absentee) voter, you should soon be receiving a postcard to verify the ballot you wish to use for voting. Choose ‘Democratic Party’ if you want to vote for Bernie.

If you do not receive a postcard, you may visit your county elections office or the polling place to request a cross-over Democratic ballot.

Id Requirement

Bring your ID JUST IN CASE (especially if you registered online).

Voter Workplace Protection

Voters may take time off at the beginning or end of a shift to allow for sufficient time to vote, with up to two hours of that time being with pay.
