“North Carolina’s 2023 municipal cycle made clear that North Carolinian­s have very real questions and concerns about new voting rules,” said Common Cause NC Associate Director Sailor Jones. “With record turnout predicted in North Carolina’s 2024 elections, and so many new and infrequent voters headed to the polls this year, it’s our job to help communitie­s across the state make sure they are ready to vote, regardless of where — or how —they cast their ballot.”

Media are invited to attend and document the training.
