A recent court filing by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office confirms that the Arizona Independent Party’s name change was constitutionally required. In the filing, the Attorney General argued that Secretary of State Adrian Fontes had no choice but to approve the name change, citing the First and Fourteenth Amendments and a political party’s right to association and expression. According to the state, denying the request would have violated those constitutional protections.

We’re excited to announce a major moment in our journey. We want to start by saying thank you to the news outlets that have given us a platform to share our vision.

Our goal is to make this transition simple, transparent, and empowering for voters — especially the 1.4 million Arizonans who identify as independent.
