The primary election on March 5, 2002 has changed in three ways.
REDISTRICTING
All legislative districts, that is, the State Assembly, State Senate,
and Congressional districts, have new boundary lines. This means
that you may or may not be in the same district as you were in the
last election. Many counties have also redrawn district boundaries.
To find your current districts, simply key your address and zip
code into "My Ballot" and note any new
districts.
PRIMARY VOTING
The rules for voting for partisan candidates have changed. When
you receive your ballot, it will list the candidates for your registered
party plus any nonpartisan contests. If you "declined to state"
a party choice on your registration, you have more
choices. To see the choices on your ballot, be sure to select
a party when you use "My Ballot". [...more
about voting]
To change your party, you must re-register.
The registration deadline is February 19 for this election. If you
register after February 4, you may not receive a sample ballot in
the mail and may not be on the voting rolls at your polling place;
however, you can and should vote a provisional ballot.
