How do you know if you're registered as a Rep. or Dem.?

Question

This is my first time voting. I don't know under which political party I am registered.

Answer 1

When you signed up to register, you either checked "Democrat," Republican," or "Independent/No Affiliation."

If you don't remember, is on your voter registration card.

If you don't have that, reapply with your preference to be certain.

Answer 2

Depending on your state you probably not are registered in either party. You would be listed on the election roles as independent or undeclared.

In my state you don't have to declare until you want to vote in a primary election. Then you declare for the first time when you go to vote.  You should check the process in your state.

Answer 3

If you like Bush and you are all for all out war and seeing my fellow soldiers die on a daily basis because of a family feud, you're a Republican.  If you like Bill Clinton and you are into a good stable economy with good job growth, then you like Hillary and are a Democrat.

Answer 4

You have issues?

Call your Voters registrars office in your County.

Answer 5

Well if you registered with your county you should have checked, Rep, Dem, or Other.  And if you dont know once you go and vote they'll be able to look you up.

Answer 6

If you go in to vote in a primary election, the officials at the polling place will have a copy of the voter registration roll. It will list your party designation, if you originally listed one when you registered. If you did not specify a party on your registration, or listed "Independent" or (in some states) "Decline to State", you can vote in one or the other of the major parties, if those parties have passed regulations allowing independents to vote in their primary. (In my state, for example, in our primary of a week ago, the Democratic  Party allowed independents to request and receive a Democratic ballot for the party primary; on the opposite, the Republicans do not allow independents to vote in their Republican primary in California).

In the general election, the big federal presidential election this November, all voters will receive the same ballot, whether they are a registered Democrat, Republican, third party, or independent. It doesn't matter what party you are affiliated with.   The ballot will list the nominees of all of the major parties and the minor third parties. You also conceivably could write-in somebody else for an office; but whether that vote would count will depend on each state's voting regulation. Some require write-in candidates to submit papers in advance, or they will not have their votes counted.

Answer 7

What did you tell them when you registered? If you can't remember, that is not good... but I will say no more. (biting tongue) Go to the city clerks office and ask to see your record. You will have to prove who you are.

Answer 8

Not all states require you to be registered in a particular party to vote in its primary.  However, you would have had to pick when you registered, if you are in one, although some states let you pick late even at the door.  Call or go onto your registrar of voters web page.

Answer 9

just vote for the person you like
