Moore County Board of Elections

The State Board of Elections has appealed Friday’s order by the NC Court of Appeals, which required election officials to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name from 2024 general election ballots and print new ones. The appeal was filed with the NC Supreme Court Friday afternoon.

As the Supreme Court considers the appeal, State Board staff will work through the weekend to begin the process of coding new ballots without Kennedy’s name and providing proofs of the new ballots to county boards of elections for review. There are 2,348 different ballot styles statewide for the 2024 general election. More than 2.9 million ballots had already been printed before the order by the Court of Appeals.

The State Board asked the Supreme Court for an expedited decision so counties will not have to spend additional money preparing and printing new ballots if the State Board is successful in its appeal. In North Carolina, county boards of elections are responsible for ballot-related costs.

In an email to county election directors Friday evening, Karen Brinson Bell, the state elections director, asked counties to work hard to ensure ballots will be ready to go out to absentee voters no later than September 21, the federal deadline to send absentee ballots in a presidential election. Voting system and ballot printing vendors have indicated that it may take an additional 12-13 days to carry out the reprinting of ballots. If it’s determined these tasks cannot be completed by September 21, the State may request a waiver to the federal deadline.

Brinson Bell also told county officials not to send any ballots until a date is determined for all counties to do so, as the voting period should be the same for all absentee-by-mail voters.

Before the Court of Appeals' ruling, the 100 county boards planned to send the first wave of ballots to eligible absentee voters who requested ballots on Friday. That would have made North Carolina the first state to send ballots to voters for the November 5 general election. As of Friday afternoon, more than 136,300 voters had requested absentee ballots statewide, including about 12,700 military and overseas voters.

In North Carolina, any eligible voter can request and vote an absentee ballot by mail. Voters who have already requested a ballot for the 2024 general election do not need to request a new one. If a voter needs their ballot to be delivered to a different address since they will receive their ballot later than expected, then a voter should complete a new request form with the updated address information. County boards of elections will process the new request once received and cancel the previous request and ballot.

The absentee ballot request deadline is 5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29. Election officials urge voters who wish to vote by mail to request their ballot as early as possible to ensure there is time to receive it and then send it back to their county board of elections so that it is received no later than 7:30 p.m. on Election Day – Nov. 5.

Note: State law previously provided for a grace period if a ballot was postmarked on or before Election Day and received up to three days after the election. That is no longer the case. The ballot must be at the county board office, not in the mail, by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day.

The cost for voters to mail back a ballot has increased to $1.77. Three Forever stamps (73 cents each) would cover this amount.

Sample Ballots

Because of the possible change to ballots, sample ballots were removed from the State Board’s Voter Search tool. New sample ballots will be posted as soon as they are available.

ATTENTION ABSENTEE BY MAIL VOTERS!!

The Court of Appeals has issued an order reversing the denial of the restraining order that was requested by Robert F. Kennedy. The court has ordered a further pause to ballot distribution.

Ballots will NOT be going out on September 6th as planned. We do not know when they will be going out as of yet.

📢ATTENTION VOTERS📢

No one should be going door to door asking about your absentee by mail ballot or asking you to "scan" anything to receive one. The only way to receive a ballot by mail is by using the portal available on the NCSBE website or completing a physical form and returning to your county elections office. The only way to confirm if you are set to receive a ballot by mail is by calling your county elections office.

Due to the inclement weather from TS Debby, the Board of Elections has cancelled its Pollworker Orientation Class this evening. Please call the office at (910) 947-3868 to reschedule.
