A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to allow first craven sanitary district to provide for absentee voting in the same manner as a municipality.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 163‑302(a) reads as rewritten:
"(a) In any municipal election, election
or sanitary district election, including a primary or general election or
referendum, conducted by the county board of elections, absentee voting may,
upon resolution of the municipal governing body, be permitted. Such
resolution must be adopted no later than 60 days prior to an election in order
to be effective for that election. Any such resolution shall remain effective
for all future elections unless repealed no later than 60 days before an
election. A copy of all resolutions adopted under this section shall be filed
with the State Board of Elections and the county board of elections conducting
the election within 10 days of passage in order to be effective. Absentee
voting shall not be permitted in any municipal election unless such election is
conducted by the county board of elections. In addition, absentee voting shall
be allowed in any referendum on incorporation of a municipality."
SECTION 2. This act applies to First Craven Sanitary District only.
SECTION 3. This act is effective when it becomes law.
