About The Event:
The US has a unique set of barriers to prevent operation of minor
political parties. Panelists will discuss their experiences: small
party registration, ballot access, access to media coverage,
exclusion from debates and legal challenges. Panelists will
discuss the role and benefits to democracy, as well as offering
solutions.
