List of political parties in Rio Blanco

There are currently several parties in Rio Blanco, with the most important ones being the left-wing Progressive Party and the right-wing Conservatives.
The formation of parties was officially allowed on 4 August 1876, on the second round of the first presidential election. There, two parties competed: Home Guard (later split into Home Guard Party, now Conservatives, and the Constitution Party) and Liberty (later merged with the Progressives).
Parties are given an official color and a symbol to represent them in ballots. When a party is dissolved, its color and symbol are relinquished and up for reuse.
Rioblancoan law allows a voter to be registered for two parties (one nationwide, the other statewide). For instance, many members of the Honeybee Independence Movement are also registered to the Conservatives of Rio Blanco and are counted as stable members of both parties, while members of the Northerners' Front are usually registered as statweide members of the Front and as nationwide independent voters.
