The North Carolina State Board of Elections is set to certify Friday morning the results of the 2024 election.
At 11 a.m., each of the state’s 100 county boards will hold a canvass meeting. They will confirm the ballots cast are valid, accurately counted and included in election results.
Canvass is the official process of determining whether the votes have been counted and tabulated correctly.
