Clarification

An oped column by Eliot R. Cutler in Wednesday’s edition stated, “On June 13, I will vote as an independent in the Republican primary for [Peter] Mills.” According to the Secretary of State’s Office, a voter must be registered as a Republican to vote in the GOP primary. Democrats, who have been in that party for at least three months, may unenroll until May 26 in order to vote in the Republican primary. Unenrolled voters may register in a party as late as the day of the primary. Mr. Cutler notes that he intends to register as a Republican for the purposes of voting for Mills in the primary, but he will continue to think of himself as an independent.
