If signed, bill in state of Delaware will double number of registrants required for minor party status

January 30th, 2010 · 6 Comments

On January 28, the Delaware Senate passed HB 245, so the bill will now go to the Governor. The bill would take effect as soon as the Governor signs it. The bill doubles the number of registrants for a party to be recognized from one-twentieth of 1%, to one-tenth of 1%. Richard Winger of Ballot Access News notes that there is case law that says it violates due process for a state to increase ballot access requirements in an election season and then implement that change in that very same election year.
