If you are a CA NPP

Be aware of California's rules for voting in a primary. I'm presuming that a decline-to-state now means no party preference, but it you are NPP you should check both the the CA Sec. of State and the CA Dem Party long before you vote.

From the CA Sec. of State:

"For presidential primary elections: NPP voters will receive a “non-partisan” ballot that does not include presidential candidates. A nonpartisan ballot contains only the names of candidates for voter-nominated offices and local nonpartisan offices and measures. However, NPP voters may vote in a political party's partisan election if the political party, by party rule duly noticed to the Secretary of State, authorizes NPP voters to vote in the next presidential primary election. An NPP voter may request the ballot of one of the political parties, if any, that authorizes NPP voters to vote in the presidential primary election."

From the CA Dem Party:

"No person shall be entitled to vote for a Democratic candidate at a partisan primary election unless they are:1) a registered Democrat,or 2) registered as a Decline-to-State who requests a Democratic ballot,and is recorded as having done so" (62).
