Question.

Can one claim a party to vote on same day as voting?

And then after voting can one claim independent right after voting ?
The answer to both questions in NH is YES. See From the NH Secretary of State:

https://www.sos.nh.gov/elections/fre...arty-primaries

An undeclared voter may vote in a state primary or a presidential primary. You will be required to choose either a Democratic or Republican ballot when you go to vote. The last day a registered voter can change their party affiliation before the 2024 Presidential Primary is October 6, 2023. The last day a registered voter can change their party affiliation before the 2024 State Primary is June 4, 2024. Supervisors are required to meet on that day at least between 7:00 - 7:30 p.m. to accept party changes.

And:
When you vote on a party ballot in a state or presidential primary, you become a registered member of that party unless you fill out a card or sign a list to return to undeclared status with the supervisors of the checklist before leaving the polling place.
