There are currently three recognized political parties in Massachusetts. If you are registered
as a Democrat, Republican or Libertarian, you cannot vote in another party’s primary.
Each party holds its own primary. Separate ballots are printed for each party, with only the
candidates running for that party’s nomination listed.

If you are not enrolled in a political party (unenrolled), you can choose a party ballot when you check-in at your polling place. Choosing a ballot will not enroll you in a party.
Once you have chosen a party ballot, and the poll worker marks your choice on the voter list,
you cannot change your selection.
