Anyone can vote early in the August primary - you don't need an excuse or a reason.

The August primary ballot has a Democratic Party Section and a Republican Party section.  Voters may vote EITHER the Democratic Party Section or the Republican Party Section - not both.  If a voter makes choices in both sections, their ballot will be rejected.
