Some on the radio are saying that when they updated their driver's license it changed them to "no party", even though they had been registered Democrats or Republicans previously. I also heard the county recorders from Coconino county and Cochise county on the radio saying that the #1 problem that they had were Independents trying to vote and didn't understand the closed election.

Also, a lot of voters missed the news to sign up with a party by Feb. 22nd. Some of the candidates campaigns as well as the media were strongly promoting this. The Cochise county recorder said that many people have been watching the national news and seeing where in some states you can sign up and register on the day of the election, which is something that isn't done here.

So it sounds like there is some data processing problem that has to be worked out before the AZ primaries in August and the general in Nov.
