The Wyoming Secretary of State has released the registration tally as of August 1, 2013. Percentages in each party are: Republican 64.93%; Democratic 20.77%; independent 13.41%; Libertarian .73%; Constitution .12%; Country .03%; Americans Elect .02%. The Country Party and Americans Elect are no longer ballot-qualified, but they still have members.
In November 2012, the percentages had been: Republican 66.70%; Democratic 21.26%; independent 11.52%; Libertarian .47%; Constitution .04%; Country .01%; Americans Elect .003%. Thanks to Michael for this news.
August 1, 2013. Libertarian .73%.
November 2012. Libertarian .47%.
That’s a rather large jump for a minor party in 9 months! Is it because the overall number of registrants has decreased, or have more people in WY joined the Libertarian Party?
Total registration in Wyoming is now slightly higher than it was in November 2012.
Seems like a common theme: the number of Republicans & Democrats is decreasing, the number of minor party voters & to a greater extent independents is increasing.
Did they release the raw numbers?
I recently registered. I was pretty careful about it, but I saw no option to register as anything but Republican, Democrat, or Independent. I will have to check with my County Clerk to see if something is wrong with their forms. If I can I will re-register as Green Party.
You won’t be able to register into the Green Party, because it has never been ballot-qualified in Wyoming.
yes. The raw numbers are on the Secretary of State’s web page.
That’s what I’ve noticed too.
