If you are already registered to vote but are not enrolled as a Democrat, you will need to complete a new registration form, checking off the "Democratic Party" box  (depending upon when you file the form changing your enrollment, you may not be able to vote in the  Democrat primary until the following election cycle).

The Board will review the facts stated, and if satisfied, will mark your registration record. You will then automatically receive an absentee ballot for every election until your registration is canceled.
