Straight Party Voting – What You Need To Know.
How straight ticket voting works (don’t forget the nonpartisan section!)
There can be three sections of the ballot: partisan, nonpartisan and proposals.
During the general election, straight ticket voting is available for the partisan section since the candidates are already narrowed down for each party.
You can select a political party to automatically vote for the candidates of that party in each of the partisan races. You can only select one party: Democratic, Republican, Libertarian.
PLEASE NOTE you will still need to make individual selections even if you choose to vote a straight party ticket for the nonpartisan section of your ballot.
