A divided NC elections board grants the Green Party official status [View all]
The state Board of Elections voted 3-2 along party lines to once again recognize the Green Party after a discussion over whether it qualified.
Republicans supported recognition, while Democrats were opposed.
The official status means that voters can continue to register with the party.
There are three ways to qualify for party recognition, by submitting petition signatures; having a candidate for president or governor receive at least 2% of the vote in the previous general election or having a presidential candidate on the ballot in at least 35 states.
