Voter registration: party preference.

Existing law authorizes a person to disclose on the affidavit of voter registration the name of the political party at the time of registering to vote or transferring a registration to vote. Existing law also authorizes the person to decline to disclose a political party preference, and requires the voter registration card to include an option allowing the person to do so. This bill would require the word "Independent" to be included with "No Party," "None," or similar wording as part of the option that permits the person to decline to disclose a party preference.
