This Primary election will be Idaho’s first closed primary. Consequently, voters will be asked to affiliate with one of the following:

Once affiliated, voters will select their ballot:
· Democrat, Constitution and Libertarian Party members will be able to vote the Democrat or Nonpartisan ballot.
· Republicans will be able to vote the Democrat, Nonpartisan or Republican ballot.
Voters wishing to vote for partisan races such as those for Congress, the Idaho Legislature or County will need to select a Democrat or Republican ballot.
Those selecting the Nonpartisan ballot will only vote for three unopposed judges. Once a ballot selection has been made, it cannot be exchanged.
