Electoral reform in North Carolina

Electoral reform in North Carolina refers to efforts to change the voting and election laws in the Tar Heel State.

In 2009 a bill was introduced by North Carolina State Senator Jim Jacumin on March 19, 2009 as SB731, the Electoral Freedom Act of 2009.

Soon after North Carolina State Senator Andrew C. Brock[2] signed on as a Co-Sponsor of the Electoral Freedom Act.

The goal of the Electoral Freedom Act of 2011 was to amend NC Election Law in NCGS Chapter 163[4] to reduce the number of signatures needed for third political parties and unaffiliated candidates to obtain access to the NC election ballot as well as eliminating the current requirement for write-in candidates to obtain signatures to have votes cast for them counted.
