NC voters will be asked to show photo ID when voting in person. Now is a good time to learn which IDs are accepted and what options are available if you don't have one. Know before you go. www.ncsbe.gov/voting/voter... #TrustedNeighbors #NCPol #Elections🗳️ #VoterID #Civics🇺🇸

Before sharing an election claim, check the source. Start with the NC State Board of Elections or your county board of elections and confirm the facts. Good information strengthens communities. Think. Check. Verify. Then share. #TrustedNeighbors #NCPol #Civics🇺🇸 #Elections🗳️ #Community

NCSBE specifically recommends using the State Board and county boards as trusted election-information sources and verifying election information before sharing it on social media.

What is "canvass"? It's the process NC uses to determine that votes were counted and tabulated correctly before results become official. Ballots and records are reviewed, audits occur, and other required checks are completed. The checking is part of the process. #TrustedNeighbors #NCPol #Civics
