Karen Brinson Bell elected as vice president of NASED.
Press availability at 10 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 15, to discuss the start of in-person early voting for the 2024 primary election in North Carolina.
The campaign is designed to reach every corner of North Carolina, including rural and urban areas, in as many ways as possible.
Thousands of dedicated public servants across North Carolina work together to ensure elections in this state are accessible, secure, and accurate.
The following are prepared remarks of Karen Brinson Bell, executive director of the NC State Board of Elections, at a virtual press availability at 9 a.m.
The NC State Board of Elections and county boards of elections are responding to requests from Election Day voters about why their “voter history” records are not yet updated to reflect the fact that they voted on Election Day – November 8, 2022. We believe this is the direct result of certain groups spreading false and misleading information about this process in an attempt to sow distrust in our elections.
North Carolina elections officials will host a news conference at 11 a.m. Tuesday, November 8, to provide information and answer questions about the 2022 general election in North Carolina.
North Carolina elections officials continue to receive complaints and questions about mass mailings and text messages to voters about the November 8 general election. The State and county boards of elections are not sending these. They come from private political groups.
Over the past couple of days, the State Board of Elections has received numerous calls from voters across North Carolina who are confused or angered by mailers that include information, sometimes inaccurate, about whether they voted in the 2018 or 2020 elections.
