Your actual party affiliations

Democratic | 2010-

Haven't registered to vote in Illinois yet, but will be unaffiliated when I do get around to it.

You don't have a choice. Party registration is not involved in the registration process here.

That said, make sure you register before early October when the deadlines are. And also make sure to at least vote for a couple Democrats such as Mike Frerichs for Treasurer, even if you don't like Quinn.

I can't vote for any Democrats in good conscience, given that I don't have much of anything  in common with them from an ideological standpoint.

The foundations are the same, but whatever. You might as well not vote, as the deadline for getting on the ballot was the other day and I am pretty sure the only one's who got on were the Dems, Pubs, and Libertarians.

What do you mean? The Democratic Party is a liberal party and I am not a liberal, so it doesn't really make much sense for me to vote for them in any context. There's not a single Democrat I can think of that I would support for any office at this point.

Assuming I get registered to vote in time, I plan on making extensive use of write-ins, and, barring that, just submitting a spoilt ballot.

Nonpartisan voter registration is available in IL through Oct 7, both in person at various government offices and online. From Oct 8 through election day Nov 4 you can register and vote through the grace period process at certain election offices in your county and at your polling place on election day. Depending on your county and whether you vote early you may not have a paper ballot to work with, though there is a process for write-ins on electronic ballots.

Thanks for the heads up!
