In-person early voting for the 2024 General Election is officially underway in North Carolina.
North Carolina State Board of Elections said officials across the state work to ensure the safety and security of all voters and the election process.
There are several processes in place to secure the state’s elections:
Paper ballots: Under state law, all counties use paper ballots. A paper trail can easily be audited or recounted. By federal law, ballot marking devices must be available at every polling place for any voter who wants to use one.
Voter Photo ID: All voters are asked to show a photo ID before voting.
Accurate Voter Rolls: NC has a program to ensure that only eligible and qualified voters are on the state’s voter rolls and that such voters are not removed. NSBE is required to adopt a list maintenance program that is uniform and nondiscriminatory.
Bipartisan, trained officials: At every polling site, bipartisan officials from the community, overseen by State and County Boards, ensure election security. Election observers are also present to witness the voting process. Bipartisan State and County Boards of Elections oversee all aspects of election.
