What’s in it

AI summary To vote in a political party's primary or caucus, you must be a registered member of that party for at least 120 days before the election. This change means you can no longer switch your party affiliation on the day of a primary or through an absentee ballot request.¹

Read the official explanation

This bill requires a person to have been registered as a member of a political party for the 120 days immediately preceding a primary election or caucus held by the political party in order to be allowed to vote in that primary election or caucus. The bill repeals provisions allowing a registered voter to change or declare a political party affiliation on the day of a primary election or by submitting an absentee ballot request form.
