Arizona Green Party Will be Included in the January 2015 Registration Tally

The Secretary of State of Arizona publishes voter registration tally every three months. The January 1, 2015 tally will be ready sometime within the next two weeks, and will include the Green Party. The Secretary of State had determined on December 19, 2014, that the party’s petition to regain its place on the ballot was valid, but at that time it wasn’t clear that the Greens would be included in the next voter registration tally.

Persons who were registered “Green” in the past, and who didn’t re-register into another party or as independents since then, will be included. Although Arizona voter registration tallies never show data for unqualified parties, and lumps them into the “independent” column, the state acknowledges that those voters retain their old party membership. This is in contrast to Kansas, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Wyoming, which convert all members of disqualified parties into independents, whether the voter desires that or not.
