What does “U” or “Unenrolled” Mean?

When registering to vote, you have the option of choosing “unenrolled” under party enrollment or designation. This is commonly referred to as “independent” and means you are not enrolled in a party but ARE a registered voter. You will be allowed to vote in a party primary if you are listed as unenrolled. You will simply need to notify the poll worker which party ballot you would like to use. You will not need to change back to “unenrolled” after choosing a party ballot. Unenrolled does not mean that you are not registered to vote.

Have you Moved?

You must update your voter registration every time you move, even within the same city. If you have moved, you can update your voter registration by filling out a new voter registration form Voter Registration English.(PDF) and returning it to the City Clerk’s Office or by making the change online.
