NC elections board preps for voter ID, braces for more, potentially expensive, requirements
The state Board of Elections voted Friday to expedite the creation of voter photo ID rules to have them ready for upcoming municipal elections.
While they’re preparing to enforce the voter ID law, elections administrators are working to decipher proposed elections changes Senate Republicans filed Thursday.
The state Board voted unanimously to begin adoption of temporary rules for photo ID. After seeing how those rules work, the board can move to make permanent rules, said Board member Stacy “Four” Eggers.
Getting temporary rules approved doesn’t take as long as enacting permanent rules, and elections officials are in a “time crunch” to get rules in place and train poll workers, said Paul Cox, the board’s general counsel.
The first municipal primaries are scheduled for September 12 in Charlotte and Sanford, and absentee voting starts a month before, he said.
