The Nebraska Working People Party did not poll 5% for any of its statewide nominees this year. It petitioned for the first time this year. Nebraska law lets a new party appear on the ballot for the next two elections, so it will be on the ballot in 2028. However, the only statewide office in Nebraska in 2028 will be President, and it is highly unlikely that this party will poll 5% for President in Nebraska. Nebraska law also lets a party remain on if it has 10,000 registered members, but the party only has 235 registrants. Most observers believe that the Working People Party got on the ballot this year as a creation of Republican Party activists who were motivated to injure the independent candidacy of Dan Osborn for U.S. Senate.

The Colorado Secretary of State releases new registration data every month. At the September 1 tally, the No Labels Party edged ahead of the Libertarian Party. Always before, ever since Colorado started letting voters register into parties other than the Democratic and Republican Parties in 1985, the Libertarian Party had been the state’s largest minor party.

At the November 1 tally, No Labels has 35,941 registrants. Libertarians are at 33,102. Here is a link to the Secretary of State’s data. Choose “October” (which is really the November 1, 2026 tally). This downloads a spreadsheet titled “Total Registered Voters by Status”. Underneath that, you will see another tab, “Party and Status”. Choose that.
