For 501(C)(4) organizations, an individual's Registered Party is displayed in Organizer and available for filtering in Community Builder under Registered Party. Ballot Party may also display the choice of party for a primary ballot. There are state by state differences in whether Registered Party and Ballot Party are reported and the information that is displayed in Organizer.
The table that appears next provides state level information on party registration and how the data is represented in Organizer. The table is in alphabetical order by state. You may find it useful to use the Find Text to quickly locate a state's information (CTRL+F on Windows or Command+F on Mac).
