A new procedure in Iowa lets any unqualified party circulate a “voter registration” petition. If that petition gets 850 names, then that unqualified party qualifies to receive a list of the names and addresses of voters who register as members of that party on voter registration forms. The Iowa Green and Libertarian Parties will each circulate that type of petition for both parties. Voters are free to sign for more than one party, so this idea will save work for both parties.
