  • Your Enrollment As a Voter
    YOUR ENROLLMENT AS A VOTER When you register to vote, you may choose to enroll in a political party or political designation or may choose to remain “unenrolled,” which is commonly referred to as independent. Choosing to Enroll in a Political Party: There are two political parties in Massachusetts: Democratic Party (D), (617) 776-2676 Republican Party (R), (617) 523-5005 If you enroll in either of these two parties you may vote only in that party’s primary. Enrollment in a political party does not affect your right to vote in the general election. In the general election, all voters receive the same ballot and vote for the candidate of their choice, regardless of party enrollment. Choosing No Enrollment in a Political Party: If you do not wish to enroll in a party, check the box next to “No Party (unenrolled)” on the voter registration form. If you do not enroll in a party, you may still vote in state and presidential primaries by choosing a party ballot and will remain unenrolled, which is commonly referred to as “independent.” Choosing to Enroll in a Political Designation: In addition to the two “political parties” listed above, there are certain legal political designations in which you can enroll. Currently these are: Conservative Party (A) Prohibition Party (P) Natural Law Party (B) American Independent Party (Q) New World Council (C) Socialist (S) Reform Party (E) Interdependent 3rd Party (T) Rainbow Coalition (F) America First Party (V) Green Party USA (G) Veterans Party America (W) We the People (H) Pirate (X) Constitution Party (K) World Citizens Party (Y) Green-Rainbow (J) Working Families (Z) Libertarian Party (L) Pizza Party (AA) Timesizing Not Downsizing (M) American Term Limits (BB) New Alliance Party (N) United Independent Party (CC) Massachusetts Independent Party (O) If you enroll in any political designation you may not vote in any state or presidential primary.

Abstract: The Zeidler family was very prominent in Milwaukee politics and the Socialist Party. Carl Frederick Zeidler (1908-1945), a lawyer, served as Assistant City Attorney, and in 1940, he was elected Mayor of Milwaukee, running as a non-partisan. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy Reserve and in August 1942 volunteered for active duty.

Zeidler served three terms as a Socialist Mayor of the City of Milwaukee (1948-1960). Prior to that he had served as a member of the Board of School Directors of the Milwaukee Public Schools (1941-1948) and as the County Surveyor of Milwaukee County (1938-1940). In addition, he was secretary for the Public Enterprise Committee and since serving as Mayor, he also was director of the state department of resource development for Gov. John Reynolds. Beyond his political career, Frank was a fundraiser, assistant to the dean and instructor for Alverno College, a teacher, a labor arbitrator, and a consultant. Mr. Zeidler was also known as an author and speaker on Milwaukee history. Scope and Content: The collection consists of clippings, articles, speeches, newsletters, flyers and other materials relating to Carl and Frank Zeidler, as well as some limited information on the other members of the Zeidler family.
