In theory you can although it would be futile to do so. Under SV, there are two columns on the ballot paper - one for voters to mark their first choice and one in which to mark a second choice.

All the first choices are then counted, and if a candidate has a majority, they are elected. If no candidate receives a majority, the top two candidates continue to a second round and all other candidates are eliminated. The second-choice votes of everyone whose first choice has been eliminated are then counted.

Any votes for the remaining candidates are then added to their first-round totals. Whichever candidate has the most votes after these second-preferences have been allocated is declared the winner.

Therefore, if you place a vote for a candidate and they make it through the first round then your second preference is not counted. If your candidate does not make it through the first round and you have voted for them again in the second round then your vote will be dis-guarded.

Who can you vote twice in the Texas primary?

Republicans are set up on one side and Democrats on the other side of the room. Go to the Democrat side and vote Hillary (so Obama has less votes) and then go to the Republican side and vote Huckabee (who you really want to win...but he lost). Both parties have the SAME list of names for that precinct. They don't cross off the names ~ you can vote either way, even if you are a registered Democrat or Republican. You are not held to a particular vote. I was told that Democrats don't care if Republicans vote, and they allow it even if you are not a registered Democrat. I voted today this way and then voted in the Caucus for Hillary again.


If you vote democrat in presidential election can you vote different in other elections?

Yes, please do. ____________ Your vote is yours. No one can tell you who to vote for. It is your choice. Vote Democrat, vote Republican, vote for an independent candidate. NO ONE legally knows who you voted for in the last election unless you tell them. You can switch your vote with each election. One of the great things about democracy. You can choose who you vote for.
