well, that would definitely cause you to miss any upcoming votes

What primary do you have in 2017? Congressional?

This year, the registration deadline for the June 28, 2016 Congressional Primary was June 3rd.

While I have you here, can you decipher this NY voter deadline text?

Change of Party Enrollment
The voter registration form should be used to change your party enrollment from one party to another or to enroll for the first time in a party. A change of enrollment received no later than 25 days before the general election shall be deposited in a sealed enrollment box and opened the first Tuesday following that general election and entered in the voter's registration record

What the hell does "no later than 25 days before" mean? Is 30 days before later, or earlier than 25 days before? If I change my affiliation 20 days before the general election, will the form NOT be deposited in a sealed enrollment box?

It's a horrible sentence.

Cheers
