Quick Glance: North Carolina: Republicans Override Governor's Veto to Enact Election Overhaul Ahead of 2024
  • Republican lawmakers in North Carolina enacted significant changes to the state's election laws on Tuesday, prompting immediate legal challenges from Democrats and voting rights groups.

  • Two new laws, passed in a state that could be crucial in next year's presidential election, will alter the composition of state and local election boards, shorten the time for returning mail-in ballots, and grant new powers to partisan poll watchers.

  • Among the changes, election boards will be evenly divided by party, a measure critics argue could result in deadlocks when deciding early voting locations and certifying election results.

  • GOP legislators, holding supermajorities in the North Carolina House and Senate, overrode vetoes by Democratic Governor Roy Cooper to implement the measures.
