Bill > H66

This bill modifies North Carolina's early voting period by changing the start date from the third Thursday before an election to the second Monday before an election. Specifically, the bill amends the existing law to allow voters to cast early in-person ballots at their county board of elections beginning on the second Monday before an election, with the final day for early voting remaining the last Saturday before the election, which continues to have voting hours from 8:00 A.M. until 3:00 P.M. By shifting the start of the early voting period earlier, the bill effectively reduces the total number of early voting days available to voters. The changes will apply to all elections held on or after the date the bill becomes law, providing immediate implementation across the state's electoral jurisdictions.
