Summary

The purpose of this bill is to require notification to voters at polling places in primary elections that they may request and use a ballot for one of the major political parties if the voter is not affiliated with any party or if the voter is registered with a party that does not have candidates on a ballot for that polling area. This codifies the process that has been in place allowing nonmembers of a political party to request that party’s partisan ballot at a primary election.
