The Administrative Code for elections is just as important as legislation. Many of the rules in the Code need to be revised. The North Carolina State Board of Elections has opened Rulemaking to public comment. It is imperative that election integrity prevail and our input is heard.
Please participate. Rulemaking is due by July 14.
Powers and duties of State Board of Elections (N.C.G.S. § 163-22), the State Board of Elections has general supervision over the primaries and elections in North Carolina. It also may make rules regarding elections and campaign finance provided they do not contradict the law. When rules are proposed, a public comment period and a public hearing about the rule takes place.
The Rules Review Commission reviews rules that the State Board adopts for compliance with the requirements in the Administrative Procedure Act (Chapter 150B of the N.C. General Statutes).
Your NCEIT Rule Making Team has completed the 15 Rules the NCSBE requested for public comment. They are Absentee Voting Rules (6), Photo ID (Rules 2), Recount Rules (3), and Voting Site Rules (4).
The Rules for Photo ID, Recount, and Voting Sites will be heard by the NCSBE on July 16th at 10AM.

Please Choose one or more of the Rules below. Please rephrase the Suggestions and its Rationale in your own words so the NCSBE treats each submission separately. Each Rule has a separate entry portal for Public Comment. For your convenience, you can find the directions on each Rule page. Thank you.

Next Chapter: We are going to be creating rules where they are needed!
After that, we will draft 'new' Rules. It's been a 'work in progress.' It's fits and starts and lots of re-writes and Zoom calls. Time! Time! Time!
These folks are doing a stellar job.
You see them, please say, 'Thank You!' :)
