On February 2, the United Independent Party announced it is launching its voter registration drive. The party will retain its ballot-qualified status into the indefinite future if it persuades 1% of the registered voters to join. The party is fortunate that the Massachusetts voter registration form has been re-issued, listing both the United Independent Party and the Green-Rainbow Party as choices with their own checkbox, along with the Democratic and Republican Parties, of course. Here is a link to the new voter registration form. The old form only listed the Democratic and Republican Parties, because they were the only qualified parties between November 2012 and November 2014. The Libertarian Party last appeared on the form in November 2010.

who backs this party?
Evan Falchuk, a Massachusetts businessman, started it, and it appeals to centrists who feel uncomfortable that (aside from the governor’s office) Massachusetts is such a one-party state, with all its members of Congress being Democrats, and with its legislature being overwhelmingly Democratic.
