D. ELECTION REFORM
- Voting time, when citizens may cast ballots, should be extended to 48 hours and should include at least one weekend day.
- Same-day voter registration (on election day) should be implemented in North Carolina.
It is working well in the states that currently allow it.
- Restrictive barriers to ballot access should be removed.
North Carolina's current signature requirement for ballot access for parties should be drastically lowered, and the existing signature requirement for write-in candidates should be abolished.
- Parties should be allowed to define their own voting membership for the purposes of party policy-making.
- New forms of computerized voter registration should not exclude residents with rural route addresses. North Carolina is currently adopting such a system.
No voter should be disenfranchised by a computer or by a rush to automation.
- Votes should not be counted by computers, which are vulnerable to stealthy and sophisticated forms of tampering. Ballots should be on paper, visible and verifiable to any person.
Any voting system that eliminates this transparency and verifiability is an invitation to election rigging and should be prohibited.
