NC Board of Elections cuts Sunday early voting hours, eliminates some college polling sites

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- It was a tense back-and-forth with North Carolina State Board of Elections members during their Tuesday meeting.

The board moved forward with plans to eliminate early in-person voting sites at colleges across the state, including at UNC Greensboro, Western Carolina University, Elon University, and North Carolina A&T State University, where students showed up, pushing back against the board's decisions, holding signs, and then having a small rally outside the building.

"They tried to silence us here, but they know that outside of that conference room, they cannot do anything to stop our voices from being heard here, " said one student

The early voting primary election plans were brought to the state board of elections by a dozen counties after the local boards couldn't come to a unanimous decision, forcing the state to have the final say.
