Oregon Secretary of State’s Office – On March 10, 2023, the Elections Division determined that a petition for forming a statewide minor political party named “No Labels Party of Oregon” has submitted sufficient valid signatures. Voters can choose to affiliate with the No Labels Party of Oregon, or any recognized major or minor party, at Oregonvotes.gov. In Oregon, political parties are formed by petition. Forming a political party enables a group of voters to nominate candidates for any partisan office, including federal, state, and county offices if the party was formed in the electoral district and has maintained ballot access. A political party is formed by gathering and submitting a petition that contains the required number of active registered voter signatures. The required number to form a new statewide minor political party is 29,294. The last time a new minor party received ballot access was the Americans Elect party in 2012.
