Is it hard or a hassle to switch your political affiliation on your voter registration?

Question

I kind of want to switch from independent to democrat so I can vote for Kucinich in the primary.

Answer 1

All you need to do is go to the post office or DMV and fill out a new form, mail it ! There it's done! Very easy! (in some states, you can find them on line, look up your secretary of state for your state, print the form and mail it)

Answer 2

I switched to Independent by going to the county clerks office and requesting the change be made on my voter card. 5 minutes tops. Piece of cake. I can no longer vote in primaries but I can run as an independent and maybe create an upset.

Answer 3

you dont need to switch, just vote democrat in the next election. the chosen political affiliation is just a label, so people can count and see how many of each kind of voter lives in an area.

Answer 4

Actually, they base your political affiliation with how you vote in the primaries. Just ask for the Democratic ballet when you go to vote.

Answer 5

I,m British and Iv'e never understood why you have to register your political affiliation, in this country you join a local party and elect your representative, nobody but your local branch knows

Answer 6

It's probably about as much of a hassle as registering to begin with.

Answer 7

It doesn't matter - your affiliation is only for census purposes. You can still vote any party you want and it counts just the same.

Answer 8

No it really easy actually! All you have to do is fill out another registration card!

Answer 9

its as easy as filling out a change of address card

Answer 10
