An estimated 10,000 ballots statewide have deficiencies that require a cure.
The State Board will provide updated numbers of deficient ballots as county
boards begin processing these ballots and entering them into the statewide
election management system.

Under the new guidance for curing absentee ballots, the following actions
will be taken by county boards of elections:

*        If a voter returns a ballot without a witness signature or assistant
signature (if the voter received assistance), a new ballot will be issued by
mail to the voter. The first ballot will be spoiled. If the voter already
voted in person during the early voting period, a new ballot will not be
sent.
*        If a voter returns a ballot with a deficiency other than a missing
witness or assistant signature, the county board will send the voter a
certification to sign and return to ensure the ballot is counted. Such
deficiencies include envelopes not signed by the voter or signed by the
voter in the wrong place, as well as envelopes missing the printed name or
address of the witness or assistant (if the voter received assistance). Any
"Absentee Cure Certification" must be received by the voter's county board
of elections no later than 5 p.m. Thursday, November 12. 
*        County boards are expected to contact any voter with an absentee
ballot deficiency in writing within one business day to inform the voter of
the deficiency and how to correct it.

Also as a result of recent court decisions, the State Board of Elections on
Monday released Numbered Memo 2020-22. This memo directs county boards of
elections to accept absentee ballots received in the mail through 5 p.m.
November 12, provided that they are postmarked on or before Election Day,
November 3.

Tips for Voters with 15 Days Until Election Day

*        If voting by mail, please return your completed ballot as soon as
possible. You may place your ballot in the mail. You may also hand-deliver
it to your county board of elections office until 5 p.m. November 3 or drop
it off at an early voting site in your county during the early voting
period, which ends October 31.
*        If voting by mail, please remember to follow instructions carefully
and complete all required sections of the absentee ballot return envelope.
These include the voter's signature, the printed name and address of the
witness and the signature of the witness. If the voter receives assistance,
the assistant's information must also be filled out on the envelope.
*        Voters who requested an absentee ballot by mail but have not yet
returned it may vote in person if they prefer, either during the early
voting period or on Election Day. Simply discard the absentee by mail
ballot. It will be spoiled after you vote in person.
*        Voters may determine whether their ballot was accepted by signing up
for BallotTrax: https://northcarolina.ballottrax.net/voter/. Absentee and
in-person early voters may also check whether their ballot was accepted
through the State Board's Voter Search tool:
https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/VoterInfo/. Finally, a voter may contact their
county board of elections.
*        In-person early voting ends October 31. For county-by-county sites
and schedules, go here: https://vt.ncsbe.gov/OSSite/.
*        On Election Day, November 3, polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to
7:30 p.m. Voters should go to their assigned polling place. Voters may find
their Election Day polling place through the Voter Search tool:
https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/.
