Students Sue After Early Voting Sites Removed From Campuses
Published 3 months ago
Description
College students in North Carolina have filed a lawsuit against state and county election officials after Republican-controlled election boards eliminated early voting sites on multiple college campuses just weeks before early voting begins for the 2026 primary. Students argue the move violates the First, 14th, and 26th amendments and places unfair burdens on young voters, particularly Black students. The lawsuit details accessibility concerns, including long distances to the nearest voting sites and the loss of heavily used same-day registration locations.
