Can you switch your vote in Illinois from voting for a republican in the primary election to voting for a democrat in the general election?
Yes. There is no obligation to vote for the party you affiliate with; the general election is held using a private ballot, meaning even if it were illegal, it would be impossible for anyone to ever find out if you had voted Democrat and not Republican.Registering to vote for a party simply entitles you to vote in any open primary in your area; it is not pledging support for that party at that general election. It is not at all uncommon in US elections for registered Republicans to vote Democrat in the general election, or vice-versa, and it is legal in all the States with registration.
