The Presidential Nomination Primary (PNP) Election, which is sometimes referred to as the “Presidential Primary” is an election conducted to determine which candidate Minnesotans would like their preferred political party to nominate as a candidate for President of the United States in the General Election.
In order to vote in the Presidential Nomination Primary election, voters must disclose (using the poll pad) which major political party they prefer in order to receive a ballot. Each major political party has its own ballot and voters are only allowed to select one ballot. If a voter refuses to select a party, they will not be able to vote in the presidential nomination primary. The current election law specific to the presidential nomination primary is in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 207A and Minnesota Rules Chapter 8215.
A voter’s choice of party ballot will be recorded and is private data. However, a list will be provided to the chair of each major political party of voters who selected that party. How a voter voted on the ballot will be secret.
