Independent or Independence Party

I am in the Independence Party, I have been getting signatures for my petition and the same subject comes up over and over.  Independence vs Independent. After a conversation, which after awhile sounds like the old who's on first routine, we come to an understanding.  A 2012 article I pulled up sounds similiar to the discussions that I have been having, http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/voters-victims-article-1.1217271.  People who meant to go into the Independence party, filed as and Independent and vice versa. I think the majority that I have talked to meant to be an Independent and signed up in the Independence party.  Well you cannot change for this election I am told but you can for next election, but if you are not registered at all you can register to vote, check the links at https://www.helenpesce.info/register-to-vote. Here is the Wikipedia info for Indpendence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independence_Party_of_New_York. Here is the Wikipedia info for Independent voter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_voter. It may be time to change the Independent name to halt the confusion, http://www.latimes.com/opinion/opinion-la/la-ol-voter-registration-california-american-independent-party-20140403-story.html.  Maybe call it no affiliation party.
