What does "registered" Republican even mean? There is no party membership for either of the two parties in the US. Is the address just on some list of "likely republican voter" households (also he's 20, so wouldn't that probably be his parents)?
Primaries in many states are closed, meaning only people registered with the party can vote in the primary. So in 2016 if you were registered independent but wanted to vote for Bernie in the primaries you would have to change your party registration before the primary. At least in many or most states. Some states have open primaries in which case you request either the Dem or Republican ballot.
