The Aloha Aina Party, a new party in Hawaii this year, polled enough votes for its legislative candidates to remain on the ballot. Here is a link to the election returns. The law required it to poll 4% of the State Senate total vote (for all districts) for its two State Senate candidates, or 4% of all the votes cast for State House (for all districts) for its twelve State House districts, or to poll 2% of all the legislative votes from both houses for all of its legislative candidates.

Aloha Aina met both the 2% test for all legislative races, and alternatively met the 4% test for all the state house votes for its state house candidates. Its highest percentage for any legislative race was 24.81% in a two-person State Senate race, 2nd district. In the State House 13th district, its nominee outpolled the Republican in a 3-way race, and obtained 17.69%.

The Constitution Party is now on the ballot in twelve states: Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. However the Oregon Constitution Party does not consider itself affiliated with the national party. Oregon permits qualified parties to change their names, but the Oregon Constitution Party is content with its current name. The Idaho Constitution Party also doesn’t consider itself affiliated with the national party, but it did put the Constitution Party’s presidential nominee on the ballot in 2020. Idaho is another state that lets qualified parties change their names, but the Idaho Constitution Party seems content with its name.

At the end of 2016, the Constitution Party was on the ballot in thirteen states, counting Idaho and Oregon.

The Green Party is now ballot-qualified in California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Mississippi, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, and West Virginia. Its Connecticut status is for Attorney General but no other statewide race.

It lost its qualified minor party status in New Mexico but less than 150 votes, but the vote tallies are not final so it could conceivably still poll enough votes. The party petition for 2022 is 3,483 signatures.

Although it is not ballot-qualified in Pennsylvania (except for special elections), it meets the state’s odd definition of “political party” so it will once more be listed as a choice on voter registration forms. It had lost that status in 2018.

It will be on in New York if it wins the lawsuit against the new definition of “political party.” It will be back on in Delaware if it increases its registration slightly; it will probably only need another 25 registrants or so.

The Green Party was ballot-qualified at the end of 2016 in twenty-one jurisdictions. UPDATE: an earlier version of this blog post said the party is not on in Hawaii, but that was a mistake. It is on in Hawaii.
