Inadvertent Independents in Frederick County Voter Change Trend
Nearly 1,200 voters in Frederick County join the politically independent pool this year amid motor voter registrations. Officials warn many may be unintentionally registered as independents due to a registration quirk. With the March 1996 presidential primary approaching and Maryland's closed primary, voters misrecording affiliation risk being barred from their former party's primary. County election administrator Maxine Pratt urges checking the registration confirmation card, which lists affiliation as D, R, L, or X. Affiliation changes must be filed by 9 pm on December 11.
