▲ Why this matters

North Carolina's county election boards are working under new directives that will discard more absentee ballots than before, though voters whose ballots get tossed will get a chance to cast new ones. The rules are tighter, the stakes are real for people voting by mail, and if your ballot lands in the rejection pile, you need to know about it fast enough to fix it. Pay attention to any official mail about your absentee ballot between now and Election Day.
