No. Georgia has an open primary system. At the primary elections you will be given the party ballot that you request. Currently, Georgia only recognizes two political parties; therefore, only Democratic and Republican party ballots are available at primary elections. However, you may choose a non-partisan ballot that only contains races for court officials and any county or state questions.

The primary runoff election is a continuation of the primary election, therefore, if you vote:

·  Democratic in the primary, Democratic must be voted in the runoff.

·  Republican in the primary, Republican must be voted in the runoff.

A disabled or advanced aged voter may vote an absentee by mail ballot by completing one application and receiving ballots for that primary and general election and any runoffs; separate applications must be completed for special elections and presidential preference primary elections.
