Election officials offers tips, warn of delays for western NC voters in wake of Helene

The NCBOE has launched a special webpage, for voters affected by the hurricane.

Election officials said they will work to provide printed materials to voters in the affected areas who may not have cell phone service or internet access.

Storm victims with questions about voting are asked to contact their county board of elections or the State Board of Elections via email at elections.sboe@ncsbe.gov or by calling (919) 814-0700.

There could be delays in response as many county board offices in the affected counties are unable to reopen until utilities are restored.

The State Board said it will provide special emergency kits to counties without internet service. These kits, basically "election offices in a box," will allow county elections workers to continue election preparations, including registering voters and processing absentee ballot requests until services are restored.
