In the Presidential Primary, each major party specifies the candidates that will appear on the ballot and determines if an uncommitted option or write-in option is allowed. In the Presidential Primary, voters will select whether they want to vote on the Democrat or Republican ticket, and a voter’s choice of party will become public information. Sample ballots are available at mnvotes.org.
From February 25 through March 2, Ramsey County residents may vote in person at any of the early voting locations in Ramsey County. When voting early, the voter feeds the ballot into a voting machine.
