5 states list a party by this name for the November 3, 2026 election. Each state party is its own organization with its own rules. We group them by the name the states use; our sources don't say whether, or how, they are tied to a national party.
Research draft. We gathered this from official sources: election offices, state laws and court records, each linked to its source. Separate reviewers checked a random sample of 54 facts from the party research against the cited sources and found 4 errors, since corrected; 1 couldn’t be checked because the source wouldn’t display its text. The rest hasn't been reviewed fact by fact yet, so check the linked source before relying on anything here.
