Summary
Absentee voting for the November general election has commenced in North Carolina, with counties starting to distribute ballots after a two-week delay. This delay was primarily caused by legal challenges that necessitated the reprinting of ballots due to the removal of certain candidates from the ballot.
The North Carolina State Board of Elections announced that absentee ballots were mailed to military and overseas voters starting September 20, with ballots for regular voters following shortly after. The initial distribution was delayed from the planned September 6 date due to a lawsuit involving Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s candidacy, which led to the need for new ballots. As of late September, over 207,000 absentee ballot requests had been received, highlighting the continued interest in mail-in voting following its popularity during the 2020 election cycle. The state has implemented new laws regarding the return of absentee ballots, requiring them to be received by election officials by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day.
