Hawaii Bill to Exempt Parties that Have Been Ballot-Qualified for Twenty Years From Meeting Vote Test

Hawaii Representative Mahina Poepoe (D-Molokai) has introduced HB 1716. It would provide that parties that have been on the ballot continuously for twenty years would remain ballot-qualified, as long as they continue to run a candidate in every election. Parties would still be free to dissolve themselves if they wished. If the bill passed, it would affect the Green and Libertarian Parties.
