How does one register to vote?

I will confess that I feel rather stupid for not figuring this out for myself.
I am new to this kind of thing. I am trying to figure out how to get the paper work to register and were I can find out were the voting takes place.
In my looking about the internet I couldn't find anything useful.
Perhaps this is why few people vote. It seems to be a pain in the ass.
It seems that I need to go to the city clerk to get the paperwork. But since I am not a state citizen yet does that change anything?
And do you really have to put a political party on the registration card? I don't want to. I see no reason why they need to know what party I belong to. And why should I belong to a party in the first place? Why can't I vote for however I want?

Anyway, thanks for helping in my ignorance.

Basically go down to the city clerk's office.
You do not have to put a political party ...

If you live in Keene..... (for some reason I think you do):

Thanks for the tip.
There it all is! What an idiot.  :blush:

If you're living in NH, you can register at the polls to vote in your town election tomorrow. Bring proof of age, citizenship, address (just in case they make you prove it all).

You do not have to declare a party but can be one of the independent majority in NH.

You can say you are me and vote. They won't take my name off the rolls. :)

Yes, I plan on doing that tomorrow. Hopefully the paperwork that I have will be good enough to prove I live in Keene.

They will if you tell them you left the state. :)

Someone told me that there is an official form that you can fill out to have your name taken off.... not that you want to fill out a form.

Proof not required..  you can sign an affidavit stating you live where you claim to.   ^-^

only if you register at another government office

Lloyd Danforth

Just to give Jean a hard time at the Liberty Forum registration, I claimed I was Rich Tomasso.  Didn't work as he was standing next to me.  I then claimed I was Russell Kanning.  He wasn't registered so I had to settle for Lloyd.
