Senate Passes Controversial Elections Bill | Durham News

Published 1 week, 5 days ago
Description

The Senate just passed a sweeping elections bill, HB 958, slashing early voting in primaries to just ten days and using federal data to purge dead voters — sparking protests and fierce debate as it heads back to the House. Key changes from the original version, including tighter voter roll controls and less flexibility for counties, have drawn criticism from lawmakers worried it could suppress turnout. Meanwhile, another bill, HB 834, unanimously advanced to handle judicial review and absentee ballots, while House Democrats prepare their own proposal to protect poll workers and bolster election integrity — setting the stage for a heated legislative showdown.
