Fill out a voter registration form; in Box 7 - Choice of Party, instructions read: "If you do not want to register with a party, write "no party" or leave the box blank. Do not write in the word "independent" if you mean "no party," because this might be confused with the name of a political party in your State." So, writing "no party," "decline to state" (in California), or leaving blank makes you an "independent," without registering you with, say, the American Independent Party.

yes, i believe so
No aspect of China's government is entirely independent of the Communist Party. The Party is the main instrument of the state and the regime.
If an independent is someone who does not belong to any party, the Roosevelt was an independent only when he was very young. He was elected to state office as a Republican when was 23, so he no doubt joined the party sometime before that. After he did not get the Republican nomination in 1912, he started his own party, the Bull Moose Party, so he was rather a member of an independent party.

A political independent is a person who is not affiliated with an organized political party. I am a registered voter but my Voter Registration Card lists my Party as "NPA" (No Party Affiliation). In my state, if I registered as a Democrat or Republican, I could vote in the party primaries for my stated party. Because I am an Independent, I cannot vote in primaries but I can vote in general elections and on referendums and non-partisan races.
The one never existed.

No. You can't cross party lines. You will get the ballot in the party you are registered. If you are independent or Green Party you don't get to vote in the primary.

In the primaries we have to declare which party we want to vote for, so you cannot vote for some democrates and some republicans!
