Please read if you’re voting in the California Primary
If you’re registered to vote in California for the Democratic primary please check your voter status here
Many people are starting to discover that they’ve registered with the American Independent Party (AIP) instead of an actual independent on their voter registartion. The AIP is the third largest party in California, but instead of being a standard independent status for voting purposes, the party is affiliated with right-wing politics and isn’t an actual independent status.
But most importantly, if you’re registered as an AIP affiliate, you cannot vote in the California primary on June 7th
Most people have registered with the party in error, as many as 500,000 people could be excluded from the Democratic Primary, so please check your voter status if you registered as an independent
You only have until May 23rd to fix this error
Don’t let this be another New York scandal, check the status of your voter registration before it’s too late
Thank you OP and everyone who reblogged this that resulted in this on my dash because despite registering 3 times, I’m still not registered somehow and I wouldn’t have known in time it it weren’t for this link to check
Thank you thank you thank you.
BIG shout out for my followers who are living in my state. I just checked my voter status just now and I’m all set but make sure that you guys are ready and aware for when our primary comes around!
With the caveat that New York’s primary wasn’t a “scandal” so much as it was “people complaining about 100-year-old rules that didn’t work in their favor,” all my California Independents should check this. It’s an easy mistake to make; I almost made it when I lived there, too. Double-check and get this cleared up if you want to vote in the CA primary for either party.
