Sections of this graph where counts were available as part of a periodic series that appear to be comparable over time are shown as a curved line. A blue line represents central committee membership. For periods when a larger number of contributors who did not all qualify as voting members was also available, a second line is shown in green.

Note: The exact way that the national party determines who is a dues-paying member for various purpose has varied over the years, and currently there are at least two counts regularly published. This graph is based on the traditional count of individuals who have signmed the membership certification and are "current" on their dues (including life members). A different rule, used for purposes like allocation of national delegates, usually gives a slightly lower number, but the two measures roughly track over time.
