New NC Voter Registration Application Includes Green Party

A new voter registration application is now available for North Carolina residents. The form includes the option to register with the state's Green Party.

The application is currently available to download through the State Board of Elections & Ethics Enforcement website. According to a press release, a hard copy will soon be available at all county boards of elections and to agencies and organizations that provide registration services.

The Green Party became North Carolina's fourth official political party in March, along with the Republican, Democratic and Libertarian parties. Its candidates can now automatically be put on state ballots through 2020.

Voters in North Carolina have until 5 p.m. next Friday to meet the regular voter registration deadline for the May 8th primary election.

The Green Party will not have a traditional primary election in 2018. Instead, it will choose its nominees by convention.
