Yes, it's Decline to State now in California. But it hasn't always been that way. Decline to State has been a long time coming. Before it did, I was hoping they would change it to something like "No party affiliations", but some clever person realized it was nobody's business what your party affiliations were and so Decline to State is better.

You know what would be even better than Decline to State? No party registration at all. No primaries and no need to register with some political party. Not only is it none of the government's business what your political party is, it is none of the government's business to have any administrative function in political parties at all. It ought to be constitutionally suggested that the government cannot have any administrative function in political parties nor can it keep track of what a voter's political party is.
