Best Answer

a voter who is not registered with a political party. Not only that but a voter that does not, again, DOES NOT, lean strongly toward one of the two parties and resemble-in all important respects-either Democrats or Republicans.

And independent voter is a United States citizen registered to vote. When the United States started, all voters were independent voters. There were no organized political parties until the election of 1800. Political parties are self-created societies which seek special status for themselves the way royalty have special status in European governments and seek to destroy the independence of all voters.

An independent voter is someone who is not affiliated with any political party and chooses to vote based on the candidate or issue rather than party allegiance. Independent voters make up a significant portion of the electorate and are often seen as crucial swing voters in elections.

How do I register as an Independent voter?

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."
