The North Carolina State Board of Elections has announced an upcoming in-person meeting that is set to take place at 9 a.m. on Tuesday. The meeting, which will be held in the Board Room on the Third Floor of the Dobbs Building located at 430 N. Salisbury St., Raleigh, is open for public attendance. A live observation of the proceedings is available online via Webex and can also be accessed by phone by dialing (415) 655-0003 and entering the access code 2428 674 5206#. The agenda and meeting materials, once available, will be posted in the State Board's meeting folder ahead of the scheduled date.
Highlighted on the tentative agenda are critical issues such as a statement concerning ethics and conflicts of interest, guided by G.S. § 138A-15(e), along with the concern to promptly address county board member vacancy appointments as per G.S. § 163-30.
An essential discussion point will be the consideration of early voting plans for the imminent March primary elections. The Board is expected to review unanimously adopted plans in addition to those from nonunanimous counties, which include Alamance, Brunswick, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Greene, Guilford, Harnett, Jackson, Madison, Pitt, and Wayne, all legislated under G.S. § 163-166.35.
