Second Choice Clause Applies to Certain State Races
The article explains the second choice provision limits for primary elections to state and congressional offices, detailing that voters must select both a first and second choice for governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and insurance commissioner, plus the Third or East Side district congressional nomination. It notes that voting for the same candidate in both choices invalidates the vote and that many voters misunderstand the provision.
