The Arizona Secretary of State has released the voter registration data as of April. The percentages: Republican 35.36%; Democratic 29.38%; Libertarian .77%; No Labels .68%; Green .07%; independent and other 33.75%.

At the previous tally, in January 2024, the percentages were: Republican 34.58%; Democratic 29.55%; Libertarian .79%; No Labels .66%; Green .06%; independent and other 34.38%.

The No Labels Party now has enough registration to remain on the ballot indefinitely, even if it has no candidates in November 2024. But in order to remain on, it must keep its registration above two-thirds of 1%. Thanks to Richard Grayson for this news.

As previously reported, in the California March 5 primary for U.S. House, 16th district, there was a tie for second place. California precedent says when that happens, the top three finishers appear on the general election ballot.

However, the primary vote is being recounted. See this story.

On April 17, the Natural Law Party of Michigan, which is ballot-qualified, nominated Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., for president. The party has a tradition of nominating minor party or independent presidential candidates to help them with ballot access.

In 2020, it nominated Rocky De La Fuente, nominee of the Alliance Party. In 2016 it nominated Mimi Soltysik, the Socialist Party nominee. In 2012 it nominated Rocky Anderson, Justice Party nominee. In 2008 it nominated Ralph Nader, an independent candidate that year. In 2004 it nominated Walt Brown, the Socialist Party nominee. Of course before then, it always nominated the national nominee of the Natural Law Party, John Hagelin.
