The bipartisan No Labels Party has filed a lawsuit to bar Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes from letting candidates run for office under the third-party group’s banner.

The complaint, filed on Friday in U.S. District Court in Phoenix, alleges that Mr. Fontes, a Democrat, has forced the party to offer its ballot line to candidates in races where it has expressly declined to compete, a move they say violates their constitutional rights.
