On October 16, the North Carolina Senate again passed SB 656, which greatly improves ballot access for minor parties, and also makes substantial improvements for independent candidates. The re-vote was needed because the Governor had vetoed the bill last week. The bill received votes from more than the required 60% of the members who voted. The vote was 26-15.
The House will vote on the bill on Tuesday, October 17.
Here’s hoping it passes the House then. And a hope Indiana can get something going next time it can be brought up. But I wish luck to the bill nonetheless.
A Good Job to the North Carolina Senate – Best of luck to it in the House!
