No they don't. But they do need it in many states to vote in the primaries. So if you want to vote for the Democratic nominee then you have to register as a Democrat. Some states allow people to vote in either to Democratic or Republican contest at the time of voting though, so you don't need to declare an affiliation.
Don't forget America is highly politically. The Presidential race is the tip of a very big iceberg. They vote for all sorts of things down to local district representation.
