You Can't Elect Unless You Select
The Presidential Nominating Primary is a process by which voters cast a vote for their preferred presidential candidate on a ballot of their preferred major political party. The day for the presidential nominating primary is March 5, 2024 (also known as “Super Tuesday). The result of the presidential nominating primary will determine your party’s choice for its presidential candidate in the General Election. This is an important and often disregarded step in the election process.
In 2020 only 22.5% of Minnesotans voted in the Presidential Primary, while almost 80% voted in the General Election. If you don’t vote in the Primary the candidate you want to represent you may be excluded from the ballot in November.
What is the difference between a Primary and General election?
A Primary Election is held by political parties to select their nominees for the offices to be elected at the upcoming General Election. In a primary, Republicans run against Republicans and Democrats run against other Democrats. And, of course, if other parties qualify to appear on the primary ballot, their candidates run against each other as well. During a Primary voters may choose only one party to vote for.
