前几天收到了County Clerk寄来的6月4日NJ Primary Election的全套表格。
我入籍时间不长，此前没有在选举中投票。
寄来的材料中明确表示必选先选择政党(民主党或者共和党)，然后才能在该党的候选人名单上选择自己心仪的候选人。
我上网查了一下：
How do primaries work in New Jersey?
A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. New Jersey utilizes a semi-closed primary process, in which the selection of a party's candidates in an election is generally limited to registered party members. Unaffiliated voters can register as party members at the polls on primary election day. Otherwise, a voter must indicate his or her party preference (e.g., via an updated voter registration) no later than the 55th day preceding the primary in order to vote in that party's primary.
似乎在选民注册时没有选择政党倾向的人不可以投票。
我在NJ MVC做选民注册时明确选择了无政党倾向，现在也不打算选择政党倾向，是不是就不可以参加这次的NJ Primary Election了？
很好奇这样的游戏规则，小党如何能出头呢？
谢谢指教！
