Voter Registration...
Voter Registration in NC: NC has (as of Feb. 9) 2.46 million Democrats, 2.09 million unaffiliated and 1.98 million Republicans in North Carolina. In the last 15 years, the number of Democrats has risen 3 percent, Republicans 14 percent and unaffiliated voters 135 percent. Unless the party opts to have its primary open, NC voters can vote in the primary of the party they are registered. If they are an ‘unaffiliated’ voter, they can choose one primary to vote in. The deadline to register to vote in this state is 25 days before the day of the election. Forms that are mailed must be received or postmarked by the deadline. If you miss the voter registration deadline, you may register and vote during the one-stop absentee voting period (early voting) for the election.
SC had 3,229,219 registered voters as of Oct 2019. South Carolina is currently one of 15 states that have “open” primaries. This means any registered voter may cast a ballot in either party’s primary — but not both. South Carolina voters also don’t have to register by political party. In 2016, 158,959 voted in Democratic primary and 260,611 in the Republican primary. 2,133,381 voted in the general election in 2016. The deadline to register to vote in this state is 30 days before the day of the election. Forms that are mailed must be received or postmarked by the deadline.

1. "Any group of voters which, at the last preceding general State election, polled for its candidate for Governor, or for presidential electors, at least two percent (2%) of the entire vote cast in the State for Governor or for presidential electors." For example, in 2012, 4,468,295 votes were cast for governor. For a newly established political party to maintain its recognized status, its candidate for governor would have had to win at least 89,366 votes
2. "Any group of voters which shall have filed with the State Board of Elections petitions for the formulation of a new political party which are signed by registered and qualified voters in this State equal in number to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the total number of voters who voted in the most recent general election for Governor. Also the petition must be signed by at least 200 registered voters from each of three congressional districts in North Carolina." Petitions must include the name of the proposed political party. Petitions may be started at any time within a four-year presidential election cycle. After each presidential election, existing petitions for new parties that have not been finalized are voided and must be restarted.
3. "Any group of voters which shall have filed with the State Board of Elections documentation that the group of voters had a candidate nominated by that group on the general election ballot of at least seventy percent (70%) of the states in the prior Presidential election. To be effective, the group must file their documentation with the State Board of Elections before 12:00 noon on the first day of June preceding the day on which is to be held the first general State election in which the new political party desires to participate."
Political parties desiring to nominate candidates for offices to be voted on in a general or special election must, before doing so, petition the state election commission for certification no later than six months before the election. A petition for the certification of a new political party must be signed by 10,000 or more registered electors residing in South Carolina. The petition must provide the name of the party, which must be substantially different from the name of any other party previously certified.
1. Must organize at the precinct level by holding county conventions before March 31 in each general election year during a month determined by the state committee. 2. Must organize and hold a state convention before May 15 in every general election year on a day and at a time fixed by the state committee and announced publicly at least 10 days before the meeting. 3. Must nominate candidates for national, state, multi-county district, countywide, or less than countywide office by either convention or party primary. 4. Must certify their candidates in at least one of two consecutive general elections held in November in an even-numbered year or in any other election which might be held within the period of time intervening between the two general elections.

-knows the precinct -knows or is willing to learn election law and rules of the party -has a good relationship with the party and is accessible-candidates can reach them -willing to canvass and organize precinct
Canvassing / Political Census -Allows the party to better connect with those who align with them and plug them in. -Allows the party to figure out the issues different individuals align with. -Allows the party to potentially connect them with candidate/s. -Allows the party to identify undecideds, persuasuadables, and independents.
-Work with your county party. Some precincts will be targeted more than others and there may only be so many people willing to phonebank or go door-to-door---use your resources wisely. Folks you have organized in your precinct may be deployed elsewhere. -Never Argue -Spend no more than 5 minutes per household -Don’t try to answer questions you don’t know the answer to. Tell the voter that you don’t know but will get back to them when you have the answer. -Travel as a team, with one working each side of a street. Male-female teams are more effective than all-male or all-female teams. -Know your polling place/the polling place of the houses you are knocking on.
