Why Should I Vote in the June Election?

There
may still be some voters who consider a June Primary as something they can
“skip” and wait for the November election. It’s important for all voters to know that our choices in June will
determine what we see on our November ballot. Every election counts just as every vote counts!

What if I don't vote in June?

Not voting in the June Primary is like “leaving your vote on the
table”. We encourage all voters to use
the power of your voice and your vote into the voting booth
June 3. You can register to vote online by May 19 to vote on June 3.
