    I’ve always been curio, what does that mean in the US ? When someone says they’re a registered democrat or republican. It seems to be different to party membership in Australia

      Pretty sure it means you get to vote in the primaries, aka the election to choose who’s in the election

      You don’t have to vote for the party you’re registered for.

      This is coming from a non-American, but that’s how I understand it
