Registrar of Voters Logo
Voters registered with a political party will receive a ballot with that party’s contest for President. If you are not registered to vote with one of the six qualified parties in California, you are registered as a “No Party Preference” voter. “No Party Preference” (NPP) voters will not have the contest for US President on their ballot. NPP voters who want to vote for President have two options:
The American Independent, Democratic and Libertarian parties allow NPP voters to vote in their primary. The Green, Republican and Peace & Freedom parties require voters to register with their party in order to vote in their primary.

The postcard notifies recipients of the NPP status and states the rules for California Presidential Primaries. If you received a postcard that indicates you are an NPP voter, please consider the following:
