Bill > HB210

This bill requires an elector to register as a member of a political party by a certain deadline in order to participate in that party's primary election. The key provisions are: - An elector's political party affiliation is determined based on the most recent voter registration or the party whose ballot the elector most recently cast at a primary election. - Voter registration forms must include options for the applicant to select a party affiliation or indicate no affiliation. - Electors must submit a voter registration update form to change their party affiliation by the last day of December before a primary election in order to vote that party's ballot. - Electors whose party affiliation change is during the year of a primary election are not eligible to be a party candidate, sign candidate petitions, or vote the party's ballot at that primary election, but may vote on any issues or unaffiliated candidates. - The bill also makes various other changes related to voter registration, party primaries, and absentee/provisional voting.
