Democratic and Republican Joint Primary: March 12, 2002

The joint primary election allows the Republican and Democratic parties to nominate candidates to represent their parties in the November election. (Other parties, e.g. Libertarian Party or Green Party, generally nominate candidates in conference or at a convention, and do not appear on the primary ballots.) You can vote in either the Republican or the Democratic primary, but not both. If you do not know your election precinct, call Voter Registration: 854-9473.
