Declare your independence!
![]()
North Carolina Independents is a non-partisan association of unaffiliated voters who are challenging party-control of the political process. We're helping to launch a national campaign to have Congress hold hearings on the second-class status of independent (i.e. unaffiliated) voters. While 40% of Americans self-identify as independent the entire political infrastructure has been built around the interests of the parties. Where is our voice in the mix? Where is our representation? Some 1.5 million North Carolinians are registered as "unaffiliated." Are you one of them? We'd love to hear from you.

Three things we'd like you to do:
1) Support the national campaign by IndependentVoting.org for Congressional hearings on the second-class status of independent voters. Click here to sign a petition for the Congressional campaign
2) Increase the percentage of North Carolina voters who are registered as unaffiliated (currently 24% in the state, due to semi-closed primaries). Click here to register to vote as "Unaffiliated"
3) Eliminate partisan barriers that prevent independent voters from fully participating in the electoral process. (See structural barriers.) Click here to learn about the Electoral Freedom Act (easier ballot access)
