Connecticut News Story on Status of Minor Parties

This Connecticut newspaper story explains the status of the various minor parties in that state. The Independent Party only polled .98% of the total vote for Governor, so it is no longer ballot-qualified for that office. But it polled over 1% for some other statewide races, so it is still on the ballot in the future for many offices. Connecticut’s vote test is unique in the nation; it goes office-by-office.

The Griebel for Connecticut Party also polled less than 1% for Governor, and that had been the only for which it had been qualified.

The Green Party didn’t poll as much as 1% for any statewide race.

The Libertarian Party polled over 1% for president in 2020, so it is still qualified for that office and some other offices.

The Working Families Party is ballot-qualified for most federal and state offices, but not President.
