Why This Matters

North Carolina’s political landscape is changing. More than 2.8 million North Carolinians are registered as unaffiliated—making them the state’s largest and fastest-growing voting bloc. Yet, the system is stacked against them. Gerrymandering, restrictive ballot access laws, and barriers for independent and third-party candidates have left millions of voters without a meaningful voice.

The North Carolina Forward Party is building a new path: Not Left, Not Right, but Forward. We are fighting for a political system that reflects the will of the people—especially those who feel politically homeless in the current two-party duopoly.

Driving Ballot Access for 2026

Our immediate mission is to secure ballot access for 2026, giving voters a real alternative. Achieving this requires gathering over 15,000 verified petition signatures—a challenging but achievable goal through a hybrid strategy of professional organizing and volunteer efforts.

Our progress so far:

  • 2,250 verified signatures collected, with 500 more pending
  • Professional signature vendor contracted to gather 1,000+ in July
  • Volunteer teams deployed at events statewide

To ensure success, we aim for 14,310 verified signatures—building in a cushion for potential rejections.

Where Your Donation Goes

  • Signature gathering and verification
