Green Party and Working Families Party Dip Below Delaware’s Registration Standard for Qualified Status

New Delaware registration data shows that both the Green Party and the Working Families Party are in danger of being removed from the 2014 ballot, unless they increase their registration totals. Delaware defines a qualified party as one that has registration membership of at least one-tenth of 1%. Both the Green Party and the Working Families met this test in 2012, but no longer meet it, although the Green Party is only 5 registrants short.

The August 13, 2013 tally shows these totals: Democratic 302,290 (47.70%); Republican 179,767 (28.37%), independent voters 143,465 (22.64%), Independent Party 3,297 (.52%), Libertarian 981 (.15%), Green 629 (.10%), Working Families 566 (.09%), various other parties that are not ballot-qualified 2,633 (.42%). The total of 633,628 voters means that parties need at least 634 members to remain qualified.

The November 2013 tally percentages were: Democratic 47.50%, Republican 28.74%, independent voters 22.49%, Independent Party .49%, Libertarian .14%, Green .10%, Working Families .10%, unqualified parties .44%. Thanks to Bob Johnston for the new registration data.
