Who Can Vote in Massachusetts Presidential Primary?

ThomasJefferson2007 asked:

Is Massachusetts a closed primary? I read something somewhere that you cannot switch parties, but would unaffiliated/independents be able to vote in the primary?

    if you’re not affiliated then you can still vote in the primary.

    If you are a democrat/liberal/socialist/ACLU/illegal Mexican alien person, you can vote anywhere, anytime and as many times as you like.

    If you are a registered voter and your political party designation is “unaffiliated,” then on election day you may choose whichever party ballot you wish to vote on (i.e., Republican or Democrat). For the presidential primary, I believe you must then swich your designation back to “unaffiliated” after you vote, which you can do at the polling place when you check out. I believe if you don’t do this then you will now be a member of the party you just voted.

    Also, remember there is an “independant” party now, I believe you must be “unaffiliated” to be able to pick your ballot, not “independant.”
