Do you need to be registered as a Democrat or Republican to vote in the primary?
I can't remember.
88 is correct again (she loves to hear that). No need to register or prove a party affiliation. I belong to neither party, but have voted in the R primaries (plan to do so again tomorrow)
Hopefully, after this election the Republican Party will vote to close its Primaries so they can choose their own candidates without any help from the Dems.
When I registered I was told I'd have to register as one of the two to participate in the primaries. I had chosen libertarian, and was told no go. So I changed it. There was no option for me to choose "no affiliation" or similar as I hate labels. But meh, I've revoked my registration altogether anyways so that's a moot point for me.
This was Fulton county. I have no idea how it works anywhere else.

My understanding is that it is the same form statewide, my wife just did hers 3 months ago, there was no box to check that I recall.

Well, I just got back from the polling place, and they required me to choose Democrat or Republican when I signed in. What if I want to vote for people from both parties? I've never voted in a primary before, but in every general election I've voted in, I never had to declare a party affiliation.
Can someone please explain this to me?

So all of this required shtuff... however you want to put it...
Isn't that the same thing as limiting your choices? IE: it's all BS? Setting you up to go in a particular direction? Giving you the illusion of choice?
Does any of it even matter? Aren't all the options kind of the same anyways?
Where's that Judge Napolitano "What If" video when you need it LOL

If you have voted in a party primary, you are thereafter considered affiliated with that party, until you vote in the another party's primary.
