No.
Where do I vote?
Find the location of your polling place with the state's "Polling Place Finder".
Can I vote for candidates from different parties in different races?
No. You can only vote in one party's primary. So, for example, if you choose to vote for a candidate running for the Republican nomination for governor, you can only vote in other Republican primary races.
What if I submitted an early ballot but have since changed my mind. Can I vote again?
It depends. If your ballot has already been processed, you will not be allowed to vote again. You can track your ballot with the state's online ballot tracking tool to determine if it has been accepted. Officials at the polls will also have access to that data.
I've moved since the last time I voted and have a new address. What do I do?
You need to bring indication of your new address, such as your driver's license or a utility bill, with you to your new polling place.
