The California State Registrar recognizes a set of political parties as qualified to put candidates on the official ballot.
Voters can register to be members of a political party. Parties promote points of view and things they want to do in the government. When you register with a party you agree with the things they believe and want from government.
You don't have to pick a party. That makes you an "independent" voter.
Parties usually publish recommendations to their members for how to vote. This can be helpful if you have confidence in your party.
PRESENTERS: Introduce your group to the names of the recognized parties in this link. Tell learners they can search for the party online to learn more about them.
