Arizona Figures Show Decrease in Registered Voters
Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett has released the latest voter registration figures. There are now 3,165,558 registered voters in Arizona. That’s a decrease of more than 46,000 since the last report in July. The decrease is believed to be due to Arizona counties’ routine maintenance of voter lists to purge inactive voters from the rolls.
Of the state’s 3.1 million voters, 1,124,173 are Republicans, 974,892 are Democrats and 1,037,450 have either registered with independent parties or have not designated a party preference.
Libertarians make up a little less than 1% of the state’s total registration. They total 23,913. The Green Party has 5,061 registered voters. And the Americans Elect Party has enrolled 69 voters since joining Arizona’s other recognized political parties earlier this year.
Bennett reminds voters that only those who have registered with a political party will be able to participate in the Presidential primary.

Number of Arizona Independent Voters Continues to Increase
The latest voter registration figures are out and the number of independent voters continues to rise. Figures released by the Arizona Secretary of State’s office show that the number of voters without a party preference is once again higher than the number of registered Democrats.
Since voter registration figures were last released in April, more than 13,000 voters have registered without a party preference or designated an unrecognized party. During the same period, Republican registration dropped by a little more than 3,000 voters and the number of Democrats fell by nearly 8,000 voters.
In local and state elections, independent voters can generally vote in party primaries, except for the Libertarian Party’s closed primary. But independednts will not be allowed to vote in the presidential primaries on February 28.
The last day to change party prefernece to vote in the presidential primaries is January 30. But Gov. Jan Brewer has said she plans to move the election up a month.
