No. If you do not want to be affiliated with a political party, you may check the box that states "Not a member of a party." You may not designate or change a party affiliation after the 21st day before the primary election.
You are required to furnish your full name, date of birth, signature, and residence address (and mailing address, if different than your residence address). Your residence address must be the address where you reside - not a post office box. You will also be asked to provide your political party preference.
You may register at any time. However, your voter registration card must be postmarked by the 21st day before the election at which you intend to vote.
