Here, you just go to the local county courthouse and ask to have your registration changed. You can do it by mail too.
I'll be doing it next week.

I'm a Libertarian and will be re-registering as Republican.
There is currently a battle in the Libertarian Party between the purists (any deviation from Rothbardian anarcho-capitalism means you're evil statist scum) and the reformers (hey, let's try to get someone elected). I am on the reformer side. But yesterday I ran across a couple of libertarian purists who think Ron Paul is a hypocritical statist because he isn't ideologically anarcho-capitalist pure. I may stay with the Republicans and support the RLC, or I may go with the Constitutionalists. But I'm growing tired of the LP.

Update: Registering in California. You can request a registration form online from the California Secretary of State, or download and print out the form. You need to be registered fifteen days before the election.

I'm a member of the Constitution party and will re-register under the Republican party, which I used to belong to lol...
I know its kind of a lame way to go about it, but its easy and it works. MySpace has setup a centralized registration site at http://www.myspace.com/declareyourself
Just follow the prompts and send in your form.

A must
Everyone, take some pepto or whatever people are taking these days for turned stomachs and do it. I've always hated Republicans (not that I was ever a Democrat either), but what I'm realizing now, is that what I have grown up knowing as a Republican is far from what it is supposed to be. Sadly, I know so many people that most likely will not look at candidates so much as they will parties, and I totally understand the hatred for the Republicans as they are now, and have been during my lifetime. We have to register as Republicans or he'll never get the nomination, and regardless of how popular he is or how much support he has, it will be over at that moment. The Republicans have given the party such a bad name, we need to find the best way to counter people's justly blind eyes at even considering one for office. Any ideas?

I'm probably an anarcho too, but that's just RIDICULOUS.
What the hell are they waiting for? Let's try to put the cancer in remission first with the constitution, then worry about getting rid of the state. Let me guess, I'm sure you told them that, and it made no difference.

Held my nose and changed my registration to Republican last week just to vote in the primaries.
I am also in Florida. I am 17 and have my birthday at the end of the year. I still don't know what party I will register with. Of course if I register Republican it will be for Ron Paul. But there are several Democrates that I like. I will need to decide in December if I will vote for Ron Paul or a Democrate. My birthday is 12/27 and the primary is 1/29/08. It is very existing know that your state will be one of the first to vote.

Go to your state's Secretary of State office or the local county (probably) Board of Elections. Most have informative web sites. It's different in each state.

I generally lean more left than right myself, but the overall cast of Democratic candidates is somewhat more equal, when you compare the differences amongst those candidates with the differences between Ron Paul and the rest of the Republican candidates. Because of this, I'm going to vote in the primary for Ron Paul without a doubt. If he doesn't make it, then I'll simply look at who the Democrats decided to nominate; there's no one particular Democrat that I think needs my help the way Ron Paul does. (Though at that point I'd probably vote third party.)

It depends on what state you're in if you even have to reregister. Here in Illinois they just ask which ballot you want when you walk in to vote during the primary. I'm a registered Republican but I believe a registered Democrat could just ask for the Republican ballot instead of Democrat when they go to vote. There's no need to reregister in certain states.

Am I alone in believing that Closed Partisan Primaries should be abolished?!
I'm gonna have to register with the Republican Party here in North Carolina. I've been Unaffiliated ever since I became old enough to vote five years ago (a matter of pride with me, as I don't like to feel like I'm "owned" by a party). But I'll definitely defect for Ron's sake and for the future of the Republic!

I think parties should be abolished, so I suppose that means that I'm also opposed to closed partisan primaries.
I've never registered with anyone officially, just showed up to polls and cast my vote in the finals. This will be my first official registration with a party in 14 years of being able to vote. I've always wondered where a true debater is in the field of presidential politics. Ron Paul is finally that man, and I'm hooked. GOP primaries for me!
