‘No Party Preference’ voters must take action to participate in March presidential primary

Registrar of voters offices across the Bay Area have issued guidance this week to “No Party Preference” voters who will have to take action if they want to vote in the presidential primary contest in the March election.

A joint statement by 11 local county registrar’s offices noted that the March 5, 2024 election will be the first in California in which party or No Party Preference ballots will be sent to every registered voter. No Party Preference means a voter didn’t register with a qualified political party like the Democratic or Republican parties.
