I live here. It was very clear that it was a Presidential Preference election. You linked to the wrong page on the SoS's page. Please correct your misleading post(s).

My post isn't misleading. The SecState's website is since EVERYONE calls this "the primary". I have two daughters who live there who did exactly what I demonstrated in the OP. So did I the first time I checked it.

It's no accident that the question on changing registration to vote in the primary contains no information that alerts independent potential voters to the non-standard use of "Primary".

I have lived in AZ all my life. I signed up for and receive emails and updates from the Hillary campaign. There were many reminders from them about where and how to vote, including encouragement to sign up for a mail in ballot. Maybe Bernie's campaign wasn't doing the same?

Somehow the Trump voters in this red state have figured it out. Sorry you and your daughters landed on the wrong webpage for info. on how the parties select their delegates.

When that is an indie's question, that is where they end up.

It is a deliberate and obvious way the parties' use to keep new blood out of the primary process.

Most of this state is run by Republicans.

We DO have a primary coming up in Aug. Your daughters may want to bookmark this page for future reference, including the status of provisional ballots.

We found this out 3 weeks ago. I've warned about it here a couple of times but it dropped like a rock.

be there!

As do our friends and extended family. Easy peasy!

first one.

Oh well I have to get there early.. someone said they expected 600 hundredish in a not so huge room.

Mahalo~

Let us know how it goes in Hawaii!

Scandalous, outrageous, rip-off...

Closed primary = no shenanigans.

Just discount 40% of the country huh? Good luck with that.

been doing to help make sure that voters know what they need to know and have what they need to have in order to vote? People are still waiting to vote right now. I'm sorry. I don't care who's fault it is, it is shameful and the Democratic Party should have been doing something to make sure their voters could vote. There have been mishaps in several states. Either the Democratic Party is incompetent or corrupt and neither is acceptable.

It was the Bernie staff's job to inform their followers and

Between the twitter updates and emails from the Hillary campaign, I was well informed about the how, what, whens and wheres of today's election. I think that the Republican campaigns have done the same, because I'm not hearing complaints on our local news or online from their voters today.

Bernie has been all over this state giving speeches. Maybe his team forgot to inform his followers about the actual voting requirements?

It's up to the SoS's office. All the major elected officials here are Repubs, btw.

And I haven't heard any complaints from them...

It's what we call it in Florida. It's even labeled that way on top of the ballot here. +1

But AZ has a primary for local elections in Aug. So they name this one differently.

for who ever they want without registering with a party...BS

But I think that each party should be able to decide, state by state, how their delegates are selected. I like that our party's candidates are awarded delegates on a proportional basis. The winner-take-all delegates approach doesn't seem as fair to me.

Just wanted to clear things up about this closed election.
