What Party Am I Registered To Vote As?

Most states only require you to register to vote once. As long as you continue voting and maintain the same address, name, and political party, you may never have to register again. If you registered a few years ago and are now questioning, "What party am I registered to vote as?," now is a good time to let DoNotPay help you check.

We'll assist you with determining your registration status and party affiliation, help you get registered if you haven't yet, and even assist you with unregistering altogether. Just a few details from you and we'll handle the request on your behalf.

How You Can Check Your Voter Registration Details

Most Secretary of State sites offer voter registration information and an online application to file. You can typically use the same site to check on your registration details and discover which party you're currently affiliated within the eyes of the government. You may also be able to check:

1. At your county elections office or voter registration facility
2. By calling your Secretary of State or elections office

Can I Change My Political Party?

Yes! If you realize your registration is associated with a political party you would no longer like to be affiliated with, you can change it. Some states offer up to 9 options when it comes to political associations, including:

1. Democratic
2. Republican
3. Progressive
4. Libertarian
5. Independent
6. Pacific Green
7. Working Families
8. Constitution
9. Other (Indicate what that other party is)

If you are unsure or do not yet wish to clarify which party you're voting with, you can select that you aren't a member of any. This will still allow you to register and vote.

Some states do not actually require you to provide this information at all. The Michigan voter application form, for example, does not even include a space for party affiliation.

How You Can Unregister If Needed

Perhaps you're unsure which party you truly want to be affiliated with going forward. Or, you might just be moving to a new location. You can get unregistered to vote and revoke your active status. If you want to ever vote again, you'll need to register with the appropriate information and get re-signed up with your county.

To get unregistered, you typically need to file a designated form at your county election office. You cannot unregister online, as you will need to sign the form.

I Haven't Registered to Vote. How Do I Get Started?

If you find that you aren't actually registered, you'll need to apply. Typically, you can apply:

• Online through your state's S.O.S. site
• Via snail-mail
• At your county voter registration office

Each state has different rules for when deadlines for applying are, with many requesting that you're signed up as a voter either 15 or 21 days before the election date. If you miss their deadline, you can either attempt to apply with the same-day registration process or wait until the next election.

Once you're signed up, you won't have to worry about reapplying every year. Your status will remain active usually for 4 or 5 years, as long as you continue voting or make an update to your registration.

How Do I Know If I'm Eligible?

Not everyone is eligible to vote in the U.S. First, you must be a citizen. You also must be at least 18. Some states allow you to pre-register either at 16 or 17 and won't send you a ballot until the first election that arises after your 18th birthday.

If you have been marked as mentally unstable by a court, and therefore unable to handle your own personal life, you are not able to vote. You also cannot vote if you are currently incarcerated for a felony crime.
