The State Board of Elections Office is aware of a report from the Civitas Institute regarding statements made by a Board of Elections employee at a public voter outreach session last week in Pasquotank County.
State Board of Elections Executive Director Kim Westbrook Strach issued the following statement on the passage of House Bill 2: "Every NC voter should be confident their voice will be heard in all primary contests. In each election, voters should mark their preference in all contests—including candidates for U.S. House appearing on ballots in March. Vote the whole ballot and let us worry about what will count."
