Bill summary

House committee substitute makes the following changes to the 2nd edition.

Modifies the proposed changes to GS 163A-822, which allows precinct officials to work on election day notwithstanding failure to attend the instructional meeting if the official resides in a county that received a disaster declaration and was displaced as a result of the disaster, now conditioning the exception on the chair of the county board of elections determining and verifying that the precinct official has previously attended an instructional meeting within two years, has been provided with updates on election procedures since that instructional meeting, and has experience working prior elections (previously only required previous training and experience working in prior elections).
