What is a primary election?

A primary election is where parties decide who to nominate as their candidate in the general election, which takes place in November. 

Wisconsin is an “open primary” state. This means you choose which one of the party’s primary to vote in, regardless of your own party affiliation.

Any U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old, who are residents of Wisconsin are eligible to vote as long as they are not currently incarcerated for a felony conviction.
