Editor: 

I'd like to add one correction to the story "California voters can kiss open primaries goodbye" in the February 8 Daily Planet. It is not just "decline to state" voters who can participate in the Democratic, Republican, etc., voters, but also those voters registered as "other" or "miscellaneous" (independent, Peace & Freedom Party, etc.).  

Those parties have adopted rules allowing anyone who is not registered in another ballot-qualified party to vote in their primaries. 

This means that Peace & Freedom Party registrants, in particular, should maintain their registration to help us in our ongoing campaign to regain our ballot status. Greens who might want to participate in another party's primary can do so by registering Peace & Freedom. (Many of the registration forms currently available don't have a box for P&F, so they must check "other" and write in "Peace & Freedom".)
