NC Election Bill Passes Key Reforms | Winston–Salem News

North Carolina’s election rules just got a major overhaul thanks to House Bill 958, which passed with a 62-47 vote — including Rep. Sam Watford’s support. The bill tackles everything from dead voters’ ballots (now tossed out) and matching font sizes for party labels to new early voting site requirements and mandatory hand-counted ballot samples. Campaign finance gets a boost too: contribution reporting thresholds jump to $2,000 — adjusted for inflation — and absentee ballot fixes come with tighter deadlines. This isn’t just busywork — it’s reshaping how North Carolina runs elections, one ballot at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
