No Jane, there are only 5 OPEN primaries out of the 14 remaining and 3 of them are caucuses. All the remaining are closed or semi-closed.
Closed = You must be registered as a Democrat.
Semi-Closed = You must be registered as a Democrat/Independent /Undelared, but you must be registered.
In 4 states, the registration deadline has already passed.
Not sure about Guam. Couldn't determined if open or closed.
But in any case, if they haven't had a big "Get Registered" effort in the remaining states we will be hearing how the system once again screwed Bernie in the closed primary states.
Wrong again Jane, people who are really interested in the "Democratic Party" find out when to register and don't just jump on board at the last minute because someone promised them a "Revolution".

(16,104 posts)We are the Democratic Party!
Not this DINO candidate, independents, democratic socialists, Libertarians, Greens, Communists, and whatever other designation people call themselves in rejecting the Democratic label - then having the audacity to declare they are the one and only true Democrats, as they are rejected in the actual voting by the Democrats!
Live and learn. Time for new rules - in a number of places!

(4,640 posts)to vote IN the primary you had to register to vote by April 4. That's why my son cannot vote in the primary, but will in the GE, and my daughter CAN vote in the primary, even though she's registered NPA. You select your party ballot at the polling place.

(50,928 posts)There is nothing on Indiana's voter registration form that asks for a person's political affiliation. I have done voter registration in Indiana since 1988 and it has never been on the form.
Here is the form used in Indiana - VRG-7
Also, from The Green Papers.
Even though the history of a voter's Party affiliation- solely as determined by the individual voter's Primary voting record- is part of the public record, the informaton is NOT available at the polling place. Any voter, however, may challenge another voter's Party affiliation at the polls:

(4,640 posts)there was a spot where I was asked for party affiliation, or none. I checked a party.

(4,640 posts)Because you're right, when my son registered online, there was no party choice. Not sure about my daughter when she registered at 18 at BMV, I'll have to ask.
Thing is, she and I both get all kinds of Dem mailers, while hubs gets all kinds of R mailers. With the exception of the Sanders mailer he got the other day, which was really kind of funny.

(2,897 posts)will be when Bernie Sanders and the Berniacs stop complaining about closed primaries since he will win Oregon then and maybe Kentucky. Sort of like how caucuses were the scourge of their existances after Iowa and Nevada until they became great again when they extended his floundering campaign.

(24,396 posts)primaries to open primaries now that Jane has said they're open. The big banks, Wall Street and the billionaires are disenfranchising millions of Indy voters who want to vote in these primaries, becasue they won't even try to get the state legislatures to change their primaries to being open primaries. Like they couldn't get it done in a few weeks if they wanted to!!111teh
THIS is why people won't vote for Hillary in the GE! At least Trump knows the personal pain of his kids not getting to vote in the NY primary. Plus, his foreign policy speech wasn't all boring, like Hillary's. What does she know about foreign policy anyway? She spent all those years as SoS sitting in her office, plotting how to marginalize Bernie!!11teh
