As of October 3, Arkansas has this number of registered voters by party: Republican 140,291; Democratic 88,969; Libertarian 736; Green 115; other and independent 1,581,556.
The reason such a huge share of the voters are independent is that Arkansas has only had registration by party starting in 2015. Most voters have not had to use a voter registration form that asks the political party choice question. Also, party registration in Arkansas has no effect on whether any voter can choose any party’s primary ballot.
In May 2024, the numbers were: Republican 131,647; Democratic 86,231; Libertarian 700; Green 104; independent and other 1,543,863.

Does the registration form let you choose only ballot qualified parties?
Read the article, goofy.
That was @ aZz
A whopping 87.3% miscellaneous and independent, down ever so slight from 87.6% in May.
Arkansas lets people register into both current and recent past ballot-qualified parties. Libertarians are ballot-qualified now and Greens were in the 2010’s decade.
