From February 15, 2024 through March 5, 2024 during the primary you can only vote for candidates that are on the ticket of the party you are registered with. For example: if you are registered a Republican you can only vote for Republican candidates during the primary. This is the same if you are a registered Democrat. You can only vote for Democratic candidates during the primary. If you are registered Unaffiliated / Independent then you have to pick a party to vote for during the primary. You are only allowed one party ballot, therefore, you can only vote for either the Republican or Democratic ballot candidates depending on the ballot you pick.
During the General Election in November you are free to vote either way you choose. You can chose each candidate one by one no matter the party they represent or the party you are registered with.
