Amends GS 163A-769 to require county boards of elections to give 30 (currently, 20) days' notice of a primary or general or special election prior to the close of registration. Makes conforming and clarifying changes.

Subject to approval by voters at the statewide general election in November of 2018, amends Section 11 of Article II of the North Carolina Constitution to require signatures from three-fourths (was, three-fifths) of the members of both the Senate and House of Representatives before the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House can convene the General Assembly in extra session. Adds that the date of the convening of the extra session can be no earlier than 10 days from the required joint proclamation; makes an exception for the case of an emergency that threatens the public health or safety or economic well-being of the state. Requires that citizens be provided of notice of the joint proclamation within one day by publication of the joint proclamation. If approved, effective upon certification and applies to extra sessions convened on or after that date.
