CHARLOTTE — In North Carolina, unaffiliated voters have officially surpassed both registered Democrats and Republicans to become the single largest voting bloc in the state. This tectonic demographic shift takes center stage as the Independent National Convention (INC ’26) gathers at the JW Marriott in Washington, D.C. from September 23 to 25.
Charlotte’s vibrant business, tech, and civic communities are reflecting this widespread political realignment. North Carolina voters are increasingly weary of polarized gridlock that fails to address infrastructure, fiscal sanity, and educational excellence.
Building Coalitions Beyond the Two Party Monopoly
The convention unites independent candidates, 3 party leaders, and civic reformers focused on dismantling systemic barriers. Sessions cover ballot access equality, open primaries, and cutting-edge decentralized voter technology designed to empower candidates free from corporate party control.
