It doesn’t matter how you voted in any previous election. If you voted in the Democratic or Republican Presidential Preference Primary in February, you can still vote however you choose in November. You can vote for a candidate in any party that is listed on the ballot.
If you voted in the Democratic Primary in June, you can continue to vote Democratic in November or you can choose a candidate of another party if you desire.
You are not bound in any way to vote for the party that you voted for in previous primaries.
Also, you do not have to vote a straight Democratic or straight Republican ticket or a straight ticket for any party unless you choose to do so.
You may pick and choose the candidates of your choice regardless of the party. If you didn’t vote in any of the primaries this year, you can still vote in the general election provided you are properly registered.
