Do you vote in primary elections?

Yes.

Felicia, 36
Lowell, MA USA

Yes, I vote in all elections.

Laney
TX USA

well ... we don't have primary elections here, we have general ones, but it's the same thing really. I vote in every election I'm alowed to vote in, and I have done since I turned 17. I don't think you have the right to complain about anything the government does unless you played your part in the democratic system by voting them in, or attempting to get someone else!

Alice, 21
Winchester UK

Yes

Fisch, 47
Preston, CT USA

Yes. It became a habit in New York City, where there was such a Democratic majority that voting in the primary was the only way really to have a voice in the selection of local candidates.

Jane, 62
West Linn, OR USA

Yes.

Judy, 62
Easton, KS USA

I'll see what the lines look like but at this time I've got a new exhibit to work on and two jobs to get to.

Alias Irrelevante

I did when I was 18, but haven't since then. I generally don't know enough about candidates to worry about the primaries. I'm working on that, though.

Firelady, 24
Frisco, TX USA

The only time I voted was in the last presidential election. . .I think. I might have voted other times,
I guess. At any rate, the presidential election was the only one I really cared about and the guy I voted for lost. So much for that.

Karen, 22
Ames, IA USA

Sometimes. It usually depends on how much I have been keeping up with the candidates. I don't want to vote if I'm not sure what I'm voting on!

Tracy, 24
Ocean City, NJ USA

I'm registered "independent" which precludes voting in the primary elections (but ensures that I get mailings for both parties for the general election). In the years I've felt strongly about primary candidates, I've changed my registration from Independent to Democratic and Independent to
Republican--and back to Independent.

Jill, 61
Saylorsburg, PA USA

Depends

Tam

I haven't yet, but I plan on doing so this November.

Ashley, 20
Jacksonville, FL USA

no, but then i havent been 18 that long which probably plays a considerable role in that.

Cara, 18
Valparaiso

no we do not have them in australia

Bradley, 21
Sydney AUSTRALIA

To young.

Em, 16
Harrisburg, PA USA

Yes

Christopher, 28
San Mateo, CA USA

Really hard to get me to vote in the regular elections, I'm sorry to say. I just loathe all the candidates. I wish they could pick someone good to run. But then I don't think there is such a thing as a good candidate, just lesser of evils. Just once I'd like everyone to show up and write-in
a name, any name, to show that we do care about voting, we just want different choices. And I really wish we had more than two parties. I'll probably vote for Nader next time around for pres.

Triana, 29
Austin, TX USA

Yes. I always try to get out and vote.

Janet, 44
E. Brunswick, NJ USA

I almost always do, but I missed this year. I was out of town and didn't remember in time to get an absentee ballot.

Laura, 37
Lowell, MA USA

I don't vote at all. I don't have enough time to check out the political elections.

Melodi, 19
Gahanna, OH USA

Nope. I'm not actually registered to vote at all. I probably should register but I just haven't gotten around to it yet. When I do, though, I'm not registering with a party, because I just don't have political beliefs that fit with any one party.
