Better Party: Missouri Secretary of State certifies new statewide political party

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Secretary of State’s Office has certified a petition that paves the way for a new statewide political party known as the “Better Party.”

According to Missouri state statutes, a new political party can form in the state if at least 10,000 registered Missouri voters sign a petition in support of it.

Ashcroft’s office says he has signed a certificate of sufficiency for the “Better Party” after a petition met its signature requirements.

With this certification, candidates can run for statewide office through the “Better Party.” Its first candidates could appear on ballots for the Nov. 5 general election.
