How do you change your voter registration to Independent in Texas?
Go read the OP and see where one person claimed they changed their voter registration that way.

I don't need to.....the state removes party affiliation annually......I REMAIN independent by not registering a party affiliation......I'm sure independence pisses your type off immensely.....

Clearly you didn't read it. There is no way under Texas law to change your party affiliation. The law actually says you can't change your party affiliation in the same year you declare one. Then your party affiliation is cancelled by the state at the end of each year leaving you with no affiliation until you declare one again. There is no way for anyone to change their party affiliation from one party to independent since there is no such thing as independent under Texas law. There are only people that haven't declared an affiliation to a party for a given year.

He had been a Republican prior to 2016 then CHANGED to another affiliation that year. What is so hard for you to understand. Maybe TOP can explain it to you. She taught Special Education.

You let your registration expire and change it to another party.

One small problem, there is no independent party.

In Texas, there are several main ways for a voter to affiliate with a party: by being accepted to vote in a party’s primary election, by taking the required oath at a party precinct convention, or by taking a party oath of affiliation generally
You cannot change your party registration in Texas in a given year once you have declared a party. You can only wait until the year is over and then select another party if you wish. If you don't select a party, you have NOT changed your voter registration because you have no voter registration on Jan 1.

A voter’s affiliation with a party automatically expires at the end of each calendar year, which is December 31. (§162.010).


If you haven't affiliated with a party in a calendar year, that doesn't change your voter registration to independent. As far as the state is concerned you are still able to declare a party affiliation any time in the calendar year. If you could actually change your voter registration to independent then you would be ineligible to vote in either party's primaries but the state says you are still entitled to do so since you haven't declared a party yet.

The POINT is the person switched from a registered Republican by allowing his registration to expire on Dec 31 2015 and voted for Hillary presumably in the primary. If the person had still been a Registered Republican he could not vote for Hillary in the primary.

?????......not in the general election, idiot......that's only to vote in the primary.......why would an independent vote in a party primary......

I guess you don't understand the meaning of voter registration by party. He claimed he changed the party on his voter registration. He clearly did not since Texas law doesn't allow you to change your party registration in a given year. You can only declare a party or not.

Can you tell us the difference between voting in a primary and being registered as a member of a party in your voter registration?

In order for him to vote for Hillary in the primary he would have changed his voter registration to Democrat. That isn't what he claimed.
It seems even you are now seeing the problems with his claim.

Voter registration is what the state considers them. The state doesn't allow people to change the party on their voter registration in a calendar year. The state doesn't list anyone as registered as independent based on the Texas law.

Are you still here? Why ? You have already been proven wrong by the Texas Secretary of State. You need to stop embarrassing yourself.

can people change their minds and consider themselves independent between the primary and the general election or do you only allow them to vote for YOUR candidate?.......

Actually, you full of it as usual with his lame ass trope by the christo-fascist "pro-life" cult. Unfortunately for folk like you, ALL the facts don't support your BS. https://muse.jhu.edu/article/881467

I don't have to lie, toodles. YOU make my case with each squawking of your tirade mantras.

You seem to not understand what voter registration is. Voter registration is how the state records your party preference. Your voter registration doesn't require you to vote for anyone. The person said they CHANGED THEIR VOTER REGISTRATION TO INDEPENDENT. That has nothing to do with how they voted but everything to do with how the state classifies their voter registration. Texas law does not allow a voter to change their party registration in a calendar year where they have declared an affiliation with one party.
