Local and state election officials are reminding eligible voters and candidates for public office across the state that the deadline to switch party affiliation is noon June 1. It is also the deadline to officially file a candidacy for public office. Those voters who are registered with a political party must change their party affiliation prior to this deadline if they wish to participate in a different party’s primary, information from the Barton County Clerk’s Office notes.
