Maryland Delegate David Moon (D-Silver Spring) and three others have introduced HB 707. It makes it easier for a party to remain ballot-qualified, by lowering the number of registered voters it needs from 1% of the state total (about 40,000) to exactly 10,000.
Does the bill allow for any unqualified party to begin registering voters?
No, unfortunately. It only helps to keep a party that is already on the ballot retain its place on the ballot.
