Comment on Proposed Rules
The State Board of Elections invites the public to comment on three proposed permanent rules: Two governing challenges and appeals regarding election observers appointed by political parties, and one addressing the requirement for such observers to wear identification at the polls, so voters and election officials know the observers' role in the voting site. Members of the public may comment on the rules in any of the following ways from Feb. 17, 2025, through April 21, 2025.
- Online: Public Comment Portal: Permanent Election Observer Rules
- Email: rulemaking.sboe@ncsbe.gov
- Mail: Attn: Rulemaking Coordinator, PO Box 27255, Raleigh, NC 27611-7255
- In-person: An in-person public hearing on the proposed rules will be held at 10 a.m. March 6, 2025, in the State Board of Elections Office, Third Floor, Dobbs Building, 430 N. Salisbury St., Raleigh, NC 27603.
Submitted comments will be compiled and submitted to the State Board before its final consideration of the proposed rules.
