  • Enrolling in a Political Party
    YOUR ENROLLMENT AS A VOTER When you register to vote, you may choose to enroll in a political party or political designation or may choose to remain “unenrolled,” which is commonly referred to as independent. Choosing to Enroll in a Political Party: There are four political parties in Massachusetts: Democratic Party (D), (617) 776-2676 Republican Party (R), (617) 523-5005 Green-Rainbow (J), (413) 650-6542 United Independent Party (CC), (617) 2UNITED If you enroll in any of these four parties you may vote only in that party’s primary. Enrollment in a political party does not affect your right to vote in the general election. In the general election, all voters receive the same ballot and vote for the candidate of their choice, regardless of party enrollment. Choosing No Enrollment in a Political Party: If you do not wish to enroll in a party, check the box next to “No Party (unenrolled)” on the voter registration form. If you do not enroll in a party, you may still vote in state and presidential primaries by choosing a party ballot and will remain unenrolled, which is commonly referred to as “independent.” Choosing to Enroll in a Political Designation: In addition to the four political parties listed above, there are certain legal political designations in which you can enroll. Currently these are: Conservative Party (A) Prohibition Party (P) Natural Law Party (B) American Independent Party (Q) New World Council (C) Socialist (S) Reform Party (E) Interdependent 3rd Party (T) Rainbow Coalition (F) America First Party (V) Green Party USA (G) Veterans Party America (W) We the People (H) Pirate (X) Constitution Party (K) World Citizens Party (Y) Libertarian Party (L) Working Families (Z) Timesizing Not Downsizing (M) Pizza Party (AA) New Alliance Party (N) American Term Limits (BB) Massachusetts Independent Party (O) Twelve Visions Party (DD) If you enroll in any political designation you may vote in the state or presidential primary of your choice.

  • Ralph Nader: White Knight Or Pied Piper?
    Ralph Nader: White Knight or Pied Piper? Op-Ed printed in The Santa Rosa Press Democrat, November 2, 2000 Ralph Nader wants to win at least five percent of the national vote to qualify the Green Party for federal matching funds in the 2004 campaign, hoping to provide the means to build a permanent political watchdog for progressive causes. The recent experience of minor parties suggests a less happy outcome. Was anyone watching what happened to the Reform Party? Membership in American political parties is wide open, leaving promising minor parties vulnerable to colonization by less successful groups from the fringes of political life, as the Reform Party discovered. If Nader were to get five percent of the vote, the Greens would be a magnet for every group of opportunists jumping ship from the battered Reform Party. First in line likely would be Lenora Fulani, leader of the political cult once called the New Alliance Party, followed by Maharishi University professor John Hagelin of the Natural Law Party. Superficially at least, the left-populist rhetoric of Fulani and the New Age nostrums of Hagelin would be a better fit with the Greens than they were with Reform. Next in line would be the various Trotskyist sects presently biding their time in more marginal minor parties. The banners of one of these, the International Socialist Organization, were already in evidence at the pro-Nader rally outside the Presidential debate in Boston. Battles among such obscure socialist sects as the Workers World Party and its perennial candidates contributed to the decline of California’s Peace and Freedom Party, which lost its ballot status last year, leaving the Greens as the only tempting alternative.

  • "Sore Loser" Laws, and Other "Ballot Access"
    Order Code RL33678 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Substitution of Nominees on the Ballot for Congressional Office, “Sore Loser” Laws, and Other “Ballot Access” Issues September 29, 2006 Jack Maskell Legislative Attorney American Law Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Substitution of Nominees on the Ballot for Congressional Office, “Sore Loser” Laws, and Other “Ballot Access” Issues Summary In July of 2006 federal courts ruled that former Representative Tom DeLay, who had earlier won the Republican primary nomination for Congress from the 22nd District of Texas, could not have his name substituted on the general election ballot by the Republican party even if Mr. DeLay had changed his legal residence and voluntarily withdrew from the race. In Ohio, however, a different result ensued a month later when Representative Robert Ney, who had won the Republican party nomination in an earlier May primary, formally announced his withdrawal from the race on August 14, 2006, but was permitted to be replaced through a “special primary” to nominate another candidate. In Connecticut, the defeated candidate for the Democratic party nomination in the August 2006 primary, incumbent Senator Joseph Lieberman, appears to be able to be on the ballot either as an “independent” or nominee of a minor party in the general election in November, although a similar ballot position for the general election for one who had lost a party nominating primary would be barred in numerous states (including Ohio) because of the application of their so-called “sore loser” laws. Several years earlier, on September 30, 2002, former Senator Robert Torrecelli, the Democratic nominee for the United States Senate from New Jersey, voluntarily withdrew from the Senate race and, even at that late date, a new candidate was allowed to be chosen by the Democratic party in New Jersey and to have his name appear on the November ballot.

  • List of Political Parties
    Manifesto Project Dataset Political Parties in the Manifesto Project Dataset [email protected] Website: https://manifesto-project.wzb.eu/ Version 2015a from May 22, 2015 Manifesto Project Dataset Political Parties in the Manifesto Project Dataset Version 2015a 1 Coverage of the Dataset including Party Splits and Merges The following list documents the parties that were coded at a specific election. The list includes the party’s or alliance’s name in the original language and in English, the party/alliance abbreviation as well as the corresponding party identification number. In case of an alliance, it also documents the member parties. Within the list of alliance members, parties are represented only by their id and abbreviation if they are also part of the general party list by themselves. If the composition of an alliance changed between different elections, this change is covered as well. Furthermore, the list records renames of parties and alliances. It shows whether a party was a split from another party or a merger of a number of other parties and indicates the name (and if existing the id) of this split or merger parties. In the past there have been a few cases where an alliance manifesto was coded instead of a party manifesto but without assigning the alliance a new party id. Instead, the alliance manifesto appeared under the party id of the main party within that alliance. In such cases the list displays the information for which election an alliance manifesto was coded as well as the name and members of this alliance. 1.1 Albania ID Covering Abbrev Parties No.
