NC Leads Nation in Absentee Ballot Mailing | Greenville News

North Carolina is rolling out the nation’s first absentee ballot mailouts tomorrow — all systems are green, staff are ready, and voters won’t face any hiccups. A new security feature on ballots helps prevent tampering, while minor legislative delays in election rules won’t affect voters — officials are just updating county guidance to make it official. Despite a federal lawsuit over USPS election mail, North Carolina’s envelopes are already USPS-approved and the state is coordinating closely with the Postal Service. Voters: Don’t wait — request your ballot early, fill it out carefully, and remember ballots must be RECEIVED by 7:30 PM on Election Day, not just postmarked. Key dates: Register by Oct 9, early voting Oct 15–31, request absentee ballot by Oct 20, Election Day Nov 3. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
