In most other democracies around the world you can change your party and vote until the last minute. Why not in the US?

That only applies to the primaries. And the reason for it is so democrats don't go screwing up republican primaries and vice versa. And technically the GOP and DNC don't even have to have primatries to nominate a candidate. So no your right to vote is not being infringed upon.
