New York Senate Bill 2300 has passed both houses of the legislature.  However, the versions of the bill are not the same in each house, so the bill still must pass the State Senate again.  It removes party emblems, also known as party logos, from general election ballots.

Removing the emblems will make it possible for the ballot to be structured in clearer format.

Assuming the bill becomes law, the only states that will continue to print party logos on ballots will be Alabama, Delaware, Indiana, Kentucky, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.  The last states to remove logos were Michigan, Missouri, Utah and West Virginia.

Great Britain votes on Thursday, May 23, for its members of the European Parliament.  See this Independent article, giving poll results.  They show the Brexit Party has 34%, Labour 21%, Liberal Democratic 12%, Conservative 11%, Green 8%.

This election is conducted using proportional representation, with twelve districts.

On May 1, the Nevada Secretary of State released new registration data.  The state releases this data every month.  See it here.

The Libertarian Party is ballot-qualified only because its registration is above 1% of the number of registered voters.  In November 2018 it did not meet the alternate 1% vote test.  The registration data released on May 1, 2019, shows that the registration requirement is currently 15,439, and the party has 15,486 members, so the party has a margin of 47.

Last month, following a voter registration purge, the party only had a margin of 7.

The party did not meet the alternate 1% vote test because its only two statewide candidates were for Governor and U.S. Senate.  It got .91% for Governor and .96% for U.S. Senate.  Both of those races were considered too close to call, although Democrats ending up winning both of them, and gaining a U.S. Senate seat.  The Libertarian Party would easily have met the 2018 vote test if it had bothered to run candidates for the lesser statewide offices, such as Treasurer.
