Know Your Rights: Completing a Ballot
You are not required to vote for every race on the ballot. You can leave sections blank if you choose not to vote for certain races or measures. Even if you’re voting by machine and it alerts you to blank sections, you are not required to complete any section of the ballot. Your ballot will still be counted for the races in which you do vote. How you choose to complete your ballot is a form of political expression that is protected by the First Amendment.
