Early Voting Procedures at Fire Stations.
This bill requires county election boards in North Carolina to implement specific safety and logistical measures when using fire stations as early voting locations. The law mandates that these sites provide traffic control, physical security for staff and voters, phone assistance, clear signage, and legal protection against damage claims. Additionally, the bill ensures that the fire station's normal operations and accessibility remain unaffected during voting hours. These provisions apply to all elections occurring on or after the date the law is enacted.
