The State Board of Elections will hold a public meeting by teleconference on Tuesday, January 5, 2016, at 11:00 a.m.
The U.S. Supreme Court today stayed a federal appeals court order that would have enjoined parts of North Carolina’s new voting law regarding same-day registration and out-of-precinct voting.
The Fourth Circuit today reinstated same-day registration and out-of-precinct voting ahead of the General Election in November.  A divided panel ordered the lower court to enjoin enforcement of new election procedures that eliminated same-day registration and required that a voter cast her ballot in her properly assigned precinct.  Judge Diana Gribbon Motz dissented.
