Got this in my email (I vote as an Independent) -- and am out of town until fall so I can only vote by ballot. Why would I need to pick a ballot? Never did this before (and it requires ID!)

BALLOT TYPES IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION
Dear Registered Voter,

The Primary Election is July 30, 2024. If you are registered with no political party affiliation, in order to receive your Primary ballot you must select which party ballot here: https://www.arizona.vote/node/55 or you may call your County Recorder’s Office.

Here is a list of options and explanations about the process:
Independent voters with no political party affiliation can choose from one of three ballots: Republican, Democratic, or nonpartisan/local issue ballot only, if applicable.
