The last day a registered voter can change their political party affiliation before the 2024 State Primary Election is Tuesday, June 4, 2024. Per state law, voters may not change their party affiliation 90 days before a primary.

The Primary Election will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2024, with the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 5. At the election, voters will cast ballots for county, state and federal offices. 

Voters domiciled in Dover may change their party affiliation at the City Clerk's Office, or any scheduled meeting of the supervisors of the checklist except for during the period between the first day of the filing period for the primary election and the date of the primary election itself.

Voters who have provided their date of birth on a voter registration form may go to the Secretary of State’s Registered Voter web link to check their political party affiliation status. The person must enter their first name, last name, town or city, and date of birth, and complete the security entry. If the name, town or city, and date of birth are the same as what was provided in their voter registration form, their name, voter ID, and party affiliation, if any, will be displayed.
