PARSIPPANY — The Primary Election is today, Tuesday, June 2, and Parsippany Focus knows there are many candidates running in Parsippany, both Republican and Democrat.
If you are registered to vote Republican, you can only cast your vote for Republican candidates, likewise if you are Democrat you can only cast your vote for Democratic candidates. New Jersey is a closed primary state. This means that only voters who affiliate with a political party may vote in that party’s candidate selection process (i.e., the primary election). However, unaffiliated voters may declare their party affiliation up to and including the day of the primary election.
