The NC. Board of Elections is meeting in Winston-Salem Sunday to settle unresolved early voting schedules for fifteen counties.
Counties had until last month to submit unanimously approved plans for the early voting period, and the vast majority did. For the holdouts, Sunday's meeting is where the details will be decided by the state board.
Issues that kept some of the more than a dozen counties from approving their plans were how many locations should be opened, and whether Sunday voting should be allowed.
Rockingham and Randolph were among the counties that failed to submit an uncontested plan, but some larger ones also made the list, including the Triangle counties of Wake, Durham and Orange.
The meeting will be held at 3 p.m. in the main auditorium of the Wake Forest University School of Law. Democrats and Republicans from each county will be given ten minutes each to pitch their plans to the nine-member state board, which can then approve one of the disputed schedules or come up with an alternative.
Unlike the county votes, the state board's decision does not have to be unanimous.
