Primary ballots go out on Friday!

Do you have a plan to VOTE by August 6th? Did you know you can get a head start by reviewing the primary voter’s pamphlet online? Fill in your name and birthdate (must match your voter registration), and click on “Your Ballot and Voting Materials” and “Voter’s Guide”. This site also includes lots of handy information about how to get a replacement ballot, if you need one, and where to find ballot drop boxes.
