[EL] is anyone aware of any source that tells which state constitutions mention parties?

[Thomas J. Cares]

It may not be that hard to gather from here -
http://www.thegreenpapers.com/slg/links.phtml

For example, I randomly looked at Arizona, typed "parties" into the search
on the next page, and then looked at the one on 'direct primaries' (because
if primaries are mentioned in the state constitution then 'parties' likely
are also), and this came up:

Section 10. The Legislature shall enact a direct primary election law,
which shall provide for the nomination of candidates for all elective
State, county, and city offices, including candidates for United States
Senator and for Representative in Congress. Any person who is registered as
no party preference or independent as the party preference or who is
registered with a political party that is not qualified for representation
on the ballot may vote in the primary election of any one of the political *
parties* that is qualified for the ballot.

(of course the links to other states' constitutions may not allow this as
efficiently)


OR... Did you mean actually mention parties by name?
