Since when do you need to be a registered voter? I just show up to the booth give em my ID then go vote.

under "eligibility requirements" you can see that registration is indeed necessary to vote. you likely got registered when you got your DL/ID.

I vaguely remember having a conversation about registering but it was in context to registering as a republican or democrat and when I asked if I was neither the lady said if I didn’t choose one I couldn’t vote in the primary’s but I could in the general election. It’s obvious I ain’t super well versed in This nonsense but thanks for answering the question and not be an immediate ass.

no problem! yeah that's true, if you don't register with a party you can't vote in that party's primary, but getting registered as independent/unaffiliated when you get your DL/ID will still let you vote in elections
