- Democrats propose constitutional amendment to protect early voting in North Carolina
Democratic state lawmakers in North Carolina proposed a constitutional amendment to ensure at least 14 days of in-person early voting for even-numbered year elections, following Republican legislation aiming to reduce the current 17-day period to 10 days. The amendment requires supermajority support in both legislative chambers to proceed, but Republicans hold the necessary majority, making passage unlikely.
- Republican NC senators propose cuts to the state’s most popular voting method
Republican North Carolina senators proposed a bill to reduce the early voting period from 17 days to 10 days by moving its start date. The bill, Senate Bill 1084, is sponsored by Warren Daniel, Brad Overcash, and Mark Hollo. The legislation echoes a 2013 law that limited early voting to 10 days, which was later struck down for disproportionately affecting African American voters.
