As a voter registered with No Party Preference, if you want to vote for U.S. President, you must request a primary election ballot with presidential candidates.

The American Independent, Democratic, and Libertarian Parties chose to allow No Party Preference voters to participate in their Presidential Primary Elections.

If your vote-by-mail ballot does not have presidential candidates...

The default ballot for No Party Preference voters has no presidential candidates on it. If you want to vote for a presidential candidate, do NOT cast this ballot. You can request a replacement ballot with presidential candidates from your county elections office by:

Phone

Email

Fax

To contact your county elections office, visit our County Elections Offices page. February 25 is the final day to request a new ballot be mailed to you.

After February 25, you can bring your vote-by-mail ballot to your local polling place or vote center and exchange it for a ballot with presidential candidates.

If you vote at the polls…

Ask the poll worker for a ballot with either American Independent, Democratic, or Libertarian Party presidential candidates when checking-in at a polling place or vote center.

If you want to vote for Green, Peace and Freedom, or Republican Party presidential candidates you can complete the 'Same Day' voter registration process at the polling place or vote center.

To re-register to vote…

You can re-register to vote online at registertovote.ca.gov. If you need to re-register after February 18, 2020, you can do so in person at a polling place, any vote center, or your county elections office.
