Libertarian Party of Arizona
Encyclopedia
The Libertarian Party of Arizona is the Arizona
affiliate of the Libertarian Party
. The state chair is Michael Kielsky. Between the November election in 2008 and April 1, 2009 the number of voters registered as Libertarians in Arizona, rose 11.6%, for a total of 20,256 voters http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/local/articles/2009/04/21/20090421politics-voters0421.html. Currently the party needs to have 20,587 (331 more) registrations by November 2009 in order to have automatic ballot access in 2010. The number needed equals two-thirds of 1% of total voter registrations, so the necessary requirement fluctuates http://www.ballot-access.org/2009/04/21/arizona-libertarian-registration-rises/.
Update: As of June 1, 2010 the number of registered Libertarians in the state of Arizona was 24,328 - well over the minimum - 20,624 - required to remain a recognized party. http://www.azsos.gov/election/voterreg/2010-06-01.pdf
Five of the state's 15 counties also have county ballot access. Of the others Santa Cruz County is closest to gaining county ballot access needing only a handful more registered Libertarians. A by-mail effort is under weigh to register the needed number - 145 (personal knowledge of William Munsil, Libertarian Activist.)
