A472

Allows voters to choose any political party primary by changing affiliation at the polling place on primary election day.

This bill allows any voter to vote in any political party primary election by changing their political party affiliation at the polling place on primary election day. It also allows voters who vote by mail-in ballot in the primary election to complete any political party's primary ballot. Voters who vote in person can declare their party affiliation at the polling place, while mail-in voters can choose any party's ballot. The bill eliminates the 55-day deadline for political party membership changes, establishing an open primary process.
