PHOTO ID, 
SAME-DAY REGISTRATION, OUT-OF-PRECINCT VOTING, & PREREGISTRATION

 

On July 29, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit struck down photo ID requirements and associated laws in North Carolina (S.L. 2013-381, as amended by S.L. 2015-103).  The state is considering its options.  Barring a different outcome on appeal,  photo ID will not be required in the upcoming general election.  Further details will be posted as they become available.
