Call or text 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) if you have questions or issues at the polls. You can vote in one party’s primary (Dem or GOP), not both. Not every precinct has both—ask a poll worker. It’s normal to be asked which ballot you want.16 Jun 2025 19:26 +0000at://did:plc:kym644tl3tkko6e5fppapxe6/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrqpkkjg3k2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/vainterfaith.bsky.social/post/3lrq7xxsi7c2zJuneteenth honors freedom, resistance, and Black joy.
