Nonpartisan absentee ballot in the state of California?

Years ago, I registered as a nonpartisan permanent absentee voter. Our presidential primary, which I was looking forward to, is tomorrow. So I was dismayed to find, when I opened my absentee ballot, that I was not given a choice of candidates, only measures and propositions to vote for. Is this because I am registered as nonpartisan? There is a definite candidate I want to vote for. So will I be eligible to go to a local polling place and cast my vote? Or will it not count because I'm a nonpartisan absentee voter?
