NC House Votes to Lower
Ballot Access Barriers
On
June 8, 2011, the NC
House of Representatives voted to approve the The Electoral Freedom Act
of 2011 (HB 32) in a bipartisan 67-50 vote. The bill dramatically
lowers the threshold for a new political party to gain and maintain
ballot access in North Carolina. The bill lowers the number of
signatures a new party must obtain to 0.25 percent of registered
voters. That party could then retain ballot status by getting 0.25
percent of the votes for president, governor or any council of state
office, whichever is lower. The bill now moves to the Senate, as SB
225.
