The GOP had 5,263,269 registered voters as of June 30, while the Democratic Party had 4,721,471, according to newly posted data on the state Division of Elections website. 

That 541,798-voter edge was up from a 496,150-voter advantage at the end of May. 

Meanwhile, 3,911,131 voters were registered without party affiliation as of June 30, while 286,493 were registered with third parties.
