According to this story, the United Independent Party of Massachusetts says it now has 11,213 registered members. The party is ballot-qualified, but it will go off the ballot after November 2016 unless it either has its registration up to 1% of the state total, or unless it runs a presidential candidate who gets at least 3% of the vote. As of now, the party has no plans to run a presidential candidate in 2016, although the state will provide a presidential primary for it.

In November 2016, 1% of the total state registration will probably be about 45,000.
