North Carolina Legislature Re-Convenes September 12

August 17th, 2011

The North Carolina legislature meets on September 12 in a special session that has the authority to act on election law bills. At that time the legislature may pass HB 32, the ballot access reform bill that has already passed the House. It may also pass one of the bills that abolishes the straight-ticket device.

If those bills don’t pass in September, it is likely that another special session will be held in December 2011. After that, the legislature won’t meet until May 2012.
