A registered Democrat will receive only a ballot that has Democratic candidates and a registered Republican will only receive a ballot that has Republican candidates.
Anyone who is registered under No Party Affiliation (NPA) or any minor parties will only receive school board and judicial contests as well as any non-partisan or universal primary contests.
