The Alaska Elections Division posts new registration data every month. The October 3 tally shows that the Libertarian Party and the Alaskan Independence Party are the only two parties to have increased their share of the state’s registration in the last month. The percentage of people registered as independents, and the percentage of people in each of the major parties, declined slightly.
The Libertarian Party will lose its place on the ballot unless it has at least 9,786 registrants by the spring of 2010. The October 3 tally shows that it has 8,565 registrants, compared to 7,859 a month ago.
The October 3 percentages are: Republican 25.98%, Democratic 15.54%, Alaskan Independence 2.79%, Libertarian 1.77%, Republican Moderate Party .64%, Green .52%, Veterans .37%, independents 52.39%. The Republican Moderate Party, the Green Party, and the Veterans Party, are not ballot-qualified, but the state tallies them because they have said they desire to qualify.
The September 3 percentages were: Republican 26.01%, Democratic 15.60%, Alaskan Independence 2.78%, Libertarian 1.63%, Republican Moderate Party .64%, Green .53%, Veterans .37%, independent 52.45%.

The way things are going in Alaska the Democrat Party should be happy that Alaska doesn’t use Pennsylvania’s ridiculous 15% registration requirement for qualified ballot status.
Will the Libertarians be off the 2010 primary ballot if they don’t get the 9,786 registrants by next spring?
Add up the LP and GOP and you have a combined total of 27.7% of registrants as Libertarian/Republican, against the Fascists in the Democrat Party.
That’s great news!
