How Do I Declare or Change Political Party Affiliation

How Do I Declare or Change Political Party Affiliation All voters are initially referred to as a No Party voter until a primary ballot has been cast. When voting in a primary election, a voter may request either a Democratic or Republican party ballot, and the voter becomes a Registered Democrat or Republican. Once they have been registered in a party, the party affiliation designation can only be changed by requesting a different party ballot in the next Primary Election. If the Voter wishes to declare No Party affiliation, their ballot will contain all the same public issues as a party ballot. The voter will not have input into Democratic or Republican Party nominations or representatives for that party. A voter cannot ask to vote for some Democrats and some Republicans in a primary election; cross voting can occur in a general election only.
