What You Need to Know about Party Affiliation

There are four political parties in Massachusetts:

• D - Democratic Party
• R - Republican Party
• J - Green-Rainbow
• CC - United Independent Party

When voting on March 1, 2016, voters who are enrolled in one of the above parties can only vote on the ballot for that party.

Voters who are unenrolled in a party (commonly known as “Independent”) will be listed on the voter list with the party code “U.” Unenrolled voters and voters who are members of Political Designations can choose which party’s ballot they would like to receive.

Residents had until Feb. 10 to change their party enrollment for the Presidential Primary.
