Massachusetts Secretary of State never releases a tally of how many registered voters there are in each party, except just prior to a statewide partisan primary, or a statewide general election. The first tally since 2016 is now out. It is as of August 15, 2018. Democratic 33.22%; Republican 10.37%; Libertarian .32%; Green .11%; members of other unqualified parties .91%; independent and miscellaneous 55.08%.
The percentages just before the 2016 general election were: Democratic 34.18%; Republican 10.68%; Libertarian .20%; Green .14%.
The Secretary of State has put the data for the three qualified parties (Democratic, Republican, and Libertarian) on his web page. However his web page does not show the totals for the unqualified parties, even though the data exists.
The number of registered voters in smaller unqualified parties currently is: Socialist 808; Constitution 244; Reform 119; Prohibition 18; Working Families 12. Most of the registrants in the unqualified parties are in the United Independent Party, which is defunct but which was on the ballot 2014-2016.
Once again, the only party that’s growing is the Libertarian Party

ALL party lists are PURGE lists.

Good to seee the number of registered Prohibitionists increased.
That’s the first increase for the Massachusetts LP since 2010. Still a long way from its 2004 peak of 23,900, 0.58%. But +5,400 in 2 years is a good start.
55%? Wow!! I’m founding a new political party – to be called the “Independent and Miscellaneous Party,” or IMP. Whether or not that indicates important or impotent is yet to be determined.
imposters, impetuous, impressive, impressionable, imperial, imprimatur, improvised, impulsive, impotent, impassioned, impeached, impatient, improved, impure, impudent, impossible, implementer, imperfect, impediment.
It is improbable that only 55% have implicitly joined.
Will you use an impala as the logo?
But, now that Massachusetts has automatic voter registration, the threshold for a new party to obtain party status by registration would increase, wouldn’t it?
