    FYI, there are several parties with independent in the name, so unless you intended to join one you can accidentally be registered to that party. Happened to me when I first started voting and I said I was independent and received Independent Party promotional materials shortly after. I had to go in and make it clear that I was not a member of any political party.

    When you change addresses in my state you can update your registration along with your License/State ID.

    Over the years I have stuck with ‘not a member of any political party’ and the funniest responses have been “I’ll put you under ‘refused to answer’” and “Why are you registering if you don’t vote?”

    Yes, I do vote for the Dems every election as it is the only way to vote against the Republicans. No, I don’t want to participate in their petty internal politics and primaries.
