Summary

The measure adds a definition for "unenrolled elector" and creates a procedure that lets such voters declare a party at the polling place, be treated as enrolled for that ballot only, and vote in the primary. It also restricts party offices to enrolled members, requires absentee/mail‑in ballots to state party choice, and makes it a misdemeanor for election officers to deny a proper ballot. The changes aim to give independents a clear path to participate in primaries while tightening oversight of vote counts.
