Complete All 10 BoxesParty Affiliation
POLITICAL PARTY AFFILIATION INFORMATION
Why does a voter have to designate a party affiliation?
In accordance with 34-404, Idaho Code, every voter is required to declare a party affiliation
with one of the 4 recognized political parties or declare no party affiliation (i.e. Unaffiliated)
when they register to vote, which becomes part of the voter's registration data and is public
record.
A voter's party affiliation selection will determine the voter's eligibility to vote in a particular
party's Primary Election. However, it does not affect the voter's ability to vote in any other
election.
What are the recognized political parties in Idaho?
There are four (4) recognized political parties in Idaho.
Constitution
Democratic
Libertarian
Republican
Also, a voter may choose to not affiliate with a political party by selecting the option of
Unaffiliated.
What does "Unaffiliated" mean?
"Unaffiliated" simply means the individual is not associated with a political party.
What if a voter refuses to affiliate with a party?
If a voter refuses to select a party affiliation, the voter will automatically be registered as
unaffiliated (i.e. a voter with no political party preference). This may limit the voter's ballot
choice in the Primary Election to the non-partisan ballot only. However, this will not affect
the voter's ability to vote in any other election. Can a voter's party affiliation be changed?
A voter's ability to change his or her party affiliation is dependent on the
current party affiliation and the time of year. However, re-registration due to
moving or a name change allows the voter to select any party affiliation
regardless of the voter's previous party affiliation.
Constitution, Democratic, Libertarian, or Republican Party: The voter may
change his or her party affiliation at any time except between the day after
the close of candidate filing (March 13, 2020) and the Primary Election (May
19, 2020).
Unaffiliated: The voter may affiliate with one of the four (4) recognized
political parties at any time including Election Day.
IMPORTANT: Party affiliation only applies to the Primary Election and does not
apply to this election, which is the General Election.Party Affiliation Change Form This form can be used at the polling place if a voter is already registered and wishes to changes party affiliation.
