North Carolina Ballot Access Bill Advances

Posted on July 26, 2011 by admin

On July 26, North Carolina HB 32 passed the Senate Rules Committee. This is the bill that cuts the number of signatures for minor parties, and statewide independent candidates, from 85,379 signatures to approximately 17,000. The bill now goes to the Senate floor, but probably there isn’t time to get a Senate vote until early next year.

According to the good folks at Thirdpartypolitcs.us, Free The Vote (the group behind the bill) has expectations of the bill making it to the Senate floor this very week:

That information is out-of-date. The soonest it may get a vote is September.

As will all things it seems at the Assembly, a lot of stuff changed about the bills hearing. Hopefully we will get it to the Senate floor in September!
