Bill summary

House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 1st edition.

Recodifies GS 163A-1303(d)(1), (2), (3), and (4) as GS 163A-1303(d)a. through d. Modifies the subsection, as recodified, as follows. Current law allows for a county board of elections of a county which includes a barrier island that meets four specified criteria to propose a Plan for Implementation, upon unanimous vote, providing for a site in that county for absentee ballots to be applied for and cast with days and hours that vary from the county board of elections, or its alternate, and other additional one-stop sites in that county, or alternatively by a petition of a member or members to the State Board of Elections if unanimity cannot be reached.

Adds to subsection (d) to allow proposal of a Plan for Implementation providing for up to two sites in the same manner by a county that is bounded by the largest sound on the East Coast and the county seat is located at the intersection of two rivers, which divide the county.
