As of August 1, 2013, the percentage of voters registered in Colorado is: independent and miscellaneous 34.63%, Republican 32.57%, Democratic 31.61%, Libertarian .73%, Green .259%, Constitution .20%.

By comparison, in November 2012, the percentages were: Republican 33.67%, independent and miscellaneous 32.75%, Democratic 32.28%, Libertarian .71%, Green .262%, Constitution .21%, Americans Elect .12%.

The only qualified party that increased its share of the registration is the Libertarian Party.

The new tally is the first time since the 1980’s that the category “independents and miscellaneous” has outnumbered both major parties. Back in November 1980, the percentages were: independent 37.57%, Democratic 31.78%, Republican 30.65%. Back then, voters were forced to register only as Democratic, Republican, or independent.
