party."

Party Affiliation and the Primary System
In a Primary Election, only voters registered with one
of the parties qualified to hold a primary in New York
City may vote to nominate their party's candidate to run
in the general election.
Candidates nominated by the parties for each office then
appear on the general election ballot, along with any
independent candidates who gain access to the general
ballot without running in the party primaries.
Voting in Primary Elections
Because a primary is strictly a party election, only
voters registered with one of the parties conducting a
primary may participate in that party's election. Voters
registered without party affiliation may vote only in
General and Special Elections.
To Change Your Party Affiliation
You can change your party affiliation by obtaining a
Voter Registration Form, indicating the change and
sending it to the Board of Elections. We will process
the information and send you a new voter card reflecting
the change in party. You cannot CHANGE your enrollment
and vote in the NEW PARTY of your choice in the same
year. Please Note: a change of enrollment will go into
affect one week following the General Election. The last
day to change your enrollment is the same as the last
day to register for the General Election (25 days prior
to the date of the General Election).
