Technically of course, your vote is still annonoymous but if you belong to a party you are expected to vote with that party. Of course, you don't have to but I mean you usually would and ppl would assume you did.
There are certain positions in the government that require you to be politically neutral (like clerk of the legislature) and it's a little hard to claim politically neutralty if you are a long-time member of a specific political party. This is of course, assuming that you don't want a patronage appointment.
