Not really. Voters who do not claim loyalty with either of the major or any of the minor political parties register as "Independent".
"Non-partisan" is an adjective used more for groups (a non-partisan fact-finding board) or for causes (Improving the public schools is a non-partisan issue in the current campagn.) rather than for individuals.
