AI Summary

  • Registered voters with no political party affiliation may vote in a major political party's primary election by requesting a partisan mail ballot no later than the seventh Monday before the primary or by appearing in person during early voting or on election day

  • County clerks must prepare and distribute partisan mail ballots to nonpartisan voters who request them, and record on the statewide voter registration list which party's ballot was requested

  • Removes the requirement for automatic voter registration agencies to notify people they cannot vote in partisan primaries unless they indicate a party affiliation; that restriction now only applies to presidential preference primaries

  • Updates mechanical voting system requirements to allow counting of primary election votes cast by nonpartisan voters who request a partisan ballot, while maintaining the prohibition for presidential preference primaries

  • Election board members must issue partisan ballots and voting receipts to nonpartisan voters who request them, and county clerks may require these voters in small precincts (under 5% per party) to vote in the same manner as other nonpartisan voters
