Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the deadline to change political party affiliation or unaffiliated designation.
VOTERS -- Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding the deadline to change political party affiliation or unaffiliated designation.
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Under current Idaho code, voters in the four recognized political parties who want to change to a different party or become unaffiliated, must do so by the candidate filing deadline prior to the primary election. Those already in the unaffiliated category, however, are currently able to change their affiliation at any time, up to and including the primary election day. This bill changes the rule for unaffiliated voters. If they wish to change affiliation, they must do so by the candidate filing deadline prior to the primary election just like all the other voters.
