STARTING A POLITICAL PARTY IN CALIFORNIA:
METHOD: VOTER REGISTRATION
REGISTERED VOTERS NEEDED: 0.33% of votes cast for governor in the latest election and submitted 154 days BEFORE the primary election.

There were 10,774,666 votes cast for the two gubernatorial candidates in the 2018 election. 
10,774,666 x 0.0033 = 35,557 registered voters needed.

​The process to qualify as an officially recognized political party in California is outlined below.

The group wishing to qualify must hold a convention or caucus to elect officers and determine the party name.
After the convention, the group must file with the California Secretary of State and qualify in one of two ways:

Voter registration method
To qualify by voter registration, 0.33 percent of persons who participated in the last gubernatorial election must acknowledge a preference for the group by writing the chosen name of the group on an affidavit of registration. These affidavits must be submitted to county election offices where the voters live 154 days before the primary election. The secretary of state will then determine if the group has qualified as a party no later than 135 days before the primary election.

Petition method
To qualify by petition, signatures from registered voters equaling 10 percent of the votes cast in the last gubernatorial election must be collected. Petitions must be filed with the county election officials in which signatures were collected 135 days prior to the primary election.

Once a political party qualifies, it must retain 1/15 of 1 percent (0.06 percent) of the state's total registration of voters in order to maintain its status as an officially recognized political party. Also, a party's candidate for statewide office must earn at least 2 percent of the entire vote in an election, or the party must maintain 0.33 percent of statewide registration in a gubernatorial election year.
As of May 2017, the state of California officially recognized six political parties. These are listed in the table below. In order to be recognized by the state, a political party must fulfill certain requirements, which are detailed here.
