Despite the hardship that Hurricane Helene has brought to our community and Western North Carolina, the Watauga County Board of Elections is hard at work preparing for the November 5, 2024 general election.
N.C. election officials held a press availability to discuss preparations for voting in Western North Carolina.
The State Board of Elections will hold a remote meeting at 4 p.m. Monday, Sept. 30, 2024.
Election officials will host press availability to discuss hurricane’s effect on voting in the 2024 general election.
North Carolina election officials are working to ensure voters affected by Helene can still vote in 2024.
That’s an average of more than 1,200 voter records removed from the voter list every single day during those 20 months. The county boards follow careful policies to ensure that only ineligible records are removed, not those of eligible voters.
The release includes a link to the recording of the press availability.
Karen Brinson Bell will give brief comments, then take questions from members of the press.
