In 2018, lawmakers passed Senate Bill 325, a law that required a 12-hour (7 a.m. – 7 p.m.) weekday Early Voting hours in all 100 counties, and eliminated voting on the popular final Saturday before Election Day. Facing litigation, lawmakers restored the final Saturday for 2018 only. Under current law North Carolinians will NOT be able to vote on the heavily-used last Saturday in 2020, when voters will need it most.
Senate Bill 683 has the best chance to restore the final Saturday of Early Voting ahead of 2020.
Take action: Tell your lawmakers to support S683 — and send a strong message that North Carolinians deserve Saturday Voting.
