In addition, Jim Pivnichny is an uncontested candidate in the Republican primary. Their online presences are listed below--

You can only vote in the primary of the party in which you are registered (Democrat or Republican). Registered voters who have not declared a party affiliation may do so on Primary Day at their polling place and vote in the primary of their choice.
