“The North Carolina State Board of Elections voted on Monday to give the counties hit hardest by Tropical Storm Helene broad authority to change their election plans to respond to the storm’s disruption. The resolution, approved in a unanimous vote by the bipartisan board, allows counties to change their early voting and Election Day polling sites, gives them greater flexibility in appointing poll workers and gives voters in the affected counties more options to receive and deliver absentee ballots. … All county board of election offices are now open for business, after 14 closed last week in Helene’s wake. However, many election officials in Western North Carolina are still without power or water in their homes and several previously designated polling sites will now be unusable due to damage, inaccessibility and staffing issues.” (10/07/24)
