I registered as a new voter and I got a letter in the mail saying that I am of the Party Democrat, I never registered before and don't know why i'm listed as Democrat. It says that my request for a party change has been received but cannot be processed at this time. The registration books are closed at this time pursuant to Florida Statutes 97.055(1) :
"The registration books must be closed on the 29th day before each election and must remain closed until after that election. ...When the registration books are closed for an election, ...party changed must be accepted but only for the purpose of subsequent elections. However, party changes received between the book-closing date of the first primary election and the date of the second primary election are not effective until afte the second primary election."
Since the registration books are now closed, we are unable to process your party change request. However, when the books open, your party change request will be made to your record and you will receive a new voter information card in the mail reflecting your new political party affiliation.
WTF does that mean? It says I registered April 23, 2003 and I didn't!
