The State Board of Elections has rescheduled the in-person public hearing on several proposed rules that will govern how county boards of elections should proceed when a deficiency with a returned absentee ballot is identified by county board staff.

The new hearing will be held at 9 a.m. on July 16, 2026, in the Board Room at the State Board of Elections, Dobbs Building, 430 N. Salisbury St., Raleigh, NC 27603. Additionally, the comment period for the absentee voting rules (and only those rules) has been extended through July 16.

The original public hearing was held on June 22, but due to technical difficulties with the recording, the hearing must be rescheduled so that the Board members can hear and consider the oral comments before taking final action on the rules.
