Do You Want to Vote for President in the Primary?

If you're registered with one of the six qualified political parties in California (American Independent Party, Democratic Party, Green Party, Libertarian Party, Peace and Freedom Party, Republican Party), your ballot will automatically include that party's presidential candidates.

If you're not registered with one of the six qualified political parties in California, you might be able to "cross over" and vote in a qualified political party's presidential primary if that party allows it.
