Re: Register to Vote!!

You can vote in either primary.

However, you should not vote in a primary if you have signed a nominating petition for a candidate in a different party. It's no skin off your back, but it invalidates your signature on the petition.

Re: Register to Vote!!

It is too late for the primary. You have to register 30 days before the election.

The process is a lot more cumbersome now than it used to be. County officials have to run your information through a state database. That database is so slow that counties have been paying people overtime to run information all night.

The database also contains errors and omissions. Someone I know was told she couldn't change her address because her new address (old store converted to a residence) was not in the database. It took quite a bit of back-and-forth to get the error corrected.
