No Labels had previously said it would hold a presidential nominating convention in Dallas in April 2024, but now the group has cancelled that plan. Instead it will have a virtual convention. See this story.

The Oregon Secretary of State’s website is very good for voter registration data by party, generally. However even though No Labels has been a qualified party for several months, the website didn’t include the No Labels registration total. The state will fix this problem soon, but in the meantime it has revealed that No Labels has 1,485 registrants.

This decision upholds the US House map drawn by the state legislature in 2021 after the 2020 Census.
Here is the Order from the Supreme Court of New Mexico.
On November 28, the Arizona Green Party submitted its petition for party status. It had approximately 63,000 signatures. The requirement is 34,116. Assuming the petition is valid, the party will be on the Arizona ballot for 2024 and 2026. In Arizona, when a party submits a petition, it gets the next two elections. And as a “new” party, it is very easy for it to nominate candidates in its primary. The petition requirement is one-tenth of 1% of the number of registered voters in the district, and a write-in candidate in the primary of a “new” party only needs one write-in vote to get the nomination, assuming he or she outpolls everyone else. This liberal write-in policy is due to a winning lawsuit filed by the Socialist Workers Party in Arizona back in 1980.
The Libertarian Party of Arizona is not a “new” party, so it has very onerous requirements in order to nominate candidates in its own primary.
