I've expanded out the voted absentee ballots for NC to the first 15 days for 2014-2020, see attached. Note that for first 8 days (2022 through 9/16) not including 2020 the totals were 2022 1,583; 2018 38; 2016 1,600; 2014 408. #ncpol /3
#ncsbe Director Karen Brinson Bell just recommended to State Board of Elections that ALL 2021 municipal elections be delayed until 2022, and that 2022 primary be moved from March 8 to May 3 (second primary July 12). She says she has talked to state legislators NCLM /1 #ncpol
Brinson Bell will be making this presentation to NC House Elections Committee at 1 pm Wednesday. For Raleigh and Cary if adopted this would put election May 3, 2022 and any runoff Jul 12. For Wake municipalities w/plurality format, election May 3, 2022. /2 #ncpol
Important to note this a PROPOSAL made to NCSBE /3 #ncpol.
Thru Nov 3 NC has 4,597,716 accepted ballots: 977,184 mail, 3,620,532 in-person early (62.5% of 7,359,935 reg voters, 96.4% of 4,769,640 2016 turnout). Same-day registration 110,591, 3.1% of 3,620,532 in-person early. (party, race, top 25 counties, daily early) #ncpol /1
I won't be doing this report again until after the Nov 13 county canvasses. But I will be tracking accepted absentee ballots coming in Nov 3-12. Those received yesterday are not in the election results. The number of accepted absentees went up by 17,204 this morning. /2 #ncpolm
It does look like when all absentee and early votes have come in Mecklenburg will hit 500,000 in that category ! Also to note: as abentees are accepted each day Nov 3-12 to be added at the November 13 county canvasses, I will be able to track party. /3 #ncpol
Quick look at #ncsbe Sunday absentee ballot request summary file, (changes cover county processing Friday and Saturday): statewide 370,693 +37,140 (an 11% jump). Wake 71,144 +7,517. Orange 14,648 +1,992. Mecklenburg. 53,404 +6,258. #ncpol (2016 FINAL request total about 231,000)
In another metric, 9.2% of all Wake County voters and 13.2% of Orange County voters have already requested an absentee ballot. Statewide it’s 5.2%. All THREE of those numbers are historically very large. /2 #ncpol
North Carolina begins to send out mail ballots on September 4. (10 days before any other state) It looks likely to be between 400,000 and 500,000 sent out on day one of mail-out. /3 #ncpol
