STARTING A POLITICAL PARTY IN DELAWARE:
METHOD: REGISTERED VOTERS
REGISTERED VOTERS NEEDED: 0.1% of voters registered
REGISTERED VOTERS NEEDED: 0.1% of voters registered
In Delaware, a political party will not be listed on the general election ballot unless a number of registered voters equal to 0.1 percent of the total registered voters in the state as of December 31 of the year prior to the election have affiliated with that party no later than three weeks before the primary election.
A voter can affiliate with a minor party on his or her voter registration form.
As long as a minor party's registration totals 0.1 percent of total registration each year, the party will remain a recognized minor party.
To become a major party, at least 5 percent of all registered voters in the state must affiliate with the party by December 31 of the year before the election.
