WHAT: #UniteNC Watauga County “Ready to Vote” Community Education Training

LOCATION: Watauga County Public Library (140 Queen St, Boone, NC 28607)
WHO: Down Home and Common Cause NC, will provide the latest on voting, elections, and district changes, distribute non-partisan voting resources, as well as answer attendee questions.
From updates on major voter registration and mail-in voting changes to the specifics of the recent photo voter ID requirement, this local training is part of a 100-county #UniteNC “Ready to Vote” Community Education Tour. Powered by Common Cause NC and its state and local partners, each event will provide North Carolina voters with the latest non-partisan voting information they’ll need to navigate (and help their communities navigate) 2024 elections.
“Watauga County residents need to be aware of the newest changes to the voting districts” said Down Home NC’s member Alana Baird. “These changes will impact county commissioner elections this year, so before going to the polls I encourage all Watauga County residents to attend this meeting to learn more about changes locally and statewide. The Board of Elections director, Matthew Snyder, will also be joining us to answer any questions residents might have.”
“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.”
