If I am an Unenrolled (U) voter (commonly referred to as "Independent"), may I vote in primary elections? Yes, you don’t need to enroll in a party to vote in a primary in Massachusetts. All registered voters can participate. If you’re registered in one party, however, you can’t vote in another party’s primary. You can vote in the party primary of your choice if you're:

  • Registered as Unenrolled (often called “Independent”)
  • Registered in a political designation

If you want to change your party to vote in a different party’s primary, you’ll need to update your voter registration at least 10 days before the primary. Check your party enrollment before the voter registration deadline. You can make a party change online, by mail, or in person at the Chilmark Town Hall (401 Middle Road).
