NC Republicans push bill to limit absentee ballot collection period

Under House Bill 304, absentee ballots would need to be received by the time polls close on Election Day, instead of three days later. The measure is set to have its first hearing on Tuesday.

On Oct. 1, 2016, Elon University sophomore Jake Kiesler works on behalf of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s campaign to register people to vote outside the Elon Community Church.

North Carolina House Republicans on Tuesday are scheduled to consider a bill seeking to limit the length of time mail-in ballots can be accepted.
