Nobody enjoys hanging in limbo. Most of the time it's in your best interest to choose a party if you feel more closely with one. When you're a "decline to state" voter for a primary election, it means that you're a nonpartisan/independent voter. (This doesn't mean you're with the American Independent Party- it means independent as in you don't have a party.) During a primary election, the nonpartisan voters will receive a nonpartisan ballot, which consists of only nonpartisan issues. The nonpartisan voter can receive a ballot for a single political party in a primary election only if the voter asks at the time of voting (for a mailing ballot or while at the polling place) and if the political party notifies the state before the election.
In the February 5th election, "decline to state" voters weren't allowed to vote for a Republican candidate, because the Republican Party didn't notify the state in time to allow the process to happen.
In the June 3rd election, "decline to state" voters will be allowed to vote for most candidates of the Democrat, Republican and American Independent parties.
