I'm not old enough to vote. But I would choose the "I'm a Republican who has voted Democrat on rare occasions". I would take a 8/100 chance of voting democratic in most cases. At least nowadays I just find too many things I disagree with when it comes to the modern democratic party. It would really take a McCain republican and a Manchin democrat for me to vote democrat. The only reason I have the "Libertarian" avatar is that I disagree with the republican party frequently on how to do things.

I have voted Liberal in the past, but when it comes to my first preferences, it'll be ALP or Green.

Not an American.

I usually vote for one of the minor Christian parties, SVP or FDP in Swiss elections though I have already cast votes for Social Democrats and Green Party candidates.

Considering that I won't vote for Dilma in the 1st round but I will in the run-off,

Considering that I will vote for IU in the European Elections but at the same time I am a member of the PSOE.

No. But only because I haven't voted yet.

Not old enough to vote (I will be in a few weeks though!), but I have made choices for whom I would have voted in the last two elections, and not counting local elections, my record would be two Greens, four Democrats, and one Justice Party member. In 2008, I probably would've voted for Obama, but I was still undecided, and I didn't pay attention to any non-presidential elections other than city council before 2010. I was ready to support Haslam for governor in October of 2010, but then he made some comment that caused me to re-assess him and support Green Party candidate Howard Switzer, though in hindsight I probably would've voted for Democrat Mike McWherter.

I've only voted in one non-local election (national elections in 2012), and I voted for all Republicans except for some Democrats who were unopposed (and one write-in.)  I probably would always vote Republican unless they nominated a total lunatic (and by that, I don't mean Republicans like Rand Paul or Ted Cruz who I disdain.)

I've always voted Democratic in partisan elections. Party is all-important in federal elections and most state elections. As mentioned before, local politics is generally very different. In local nonpartisan elections, it's quite possible I've voted for non-Democratic candidates.
