Case for Leandro Plan Heard in Court This Week

The Leandro plan was heard yet again in court on Wednesday. The Leandro plan and the fight for funding so every public school student can have a basic and sound education has been in motion since 1994. 

Public Education in NC has been defunded for about 30 years now and last November a judge finally ruled that the NC Legislature had to fund public education for $1.75 billion dollars. An appeal was quickly filed and Chief Justice Newby replaced Judge W. David Lee, the judge that made the ruling in November, with Judge Michael Robinson. Judge Robinson will decide whether to or how to amend Judge Lee's decision before sending it back to the State Supreme Court.

Do You Have a Plan to Vote in May?

The May Primary will be here before we know it! Getting engaged in #EveryElectionEveryTime is important for us to have a democracy on every level. Make sure you and everyone you know has a voting plan! The following deadlines are important for the 3 ways you can vote- in-person early voting, in-person voting on Election Day or vote by mail!

Registration Deadline to vote in-person on May 17 is April 22!
In-Person Early Voting starts on April 28 and ends on May 14. You can also same day register or update your voter registration during early voting.
The Absentee/Vote by Mail ballot request portal is open NOW! The NC State Board of Elections will start to send out absentee ballots on March 28. The last day to request an absentee ballot is on May 10, but we highly recommend requesting NOW and returning your ballot ASAP due to lengthy mail times. Vote by mail ballots have to be postmarked by May 17 in order to be counted.
The Primary is on May 17 and polling places will be open from 6:30am to 7:30pm.

Who can vote in the NC Primaries?

NC citizens who will be 18 years old by the November 2022 General Election can vote in this election- must be pre-registered to vote. Learn more about that HERE.
Unaffiliated/independent voters can still vote in the primary- you will need to choose a ballot when voting- either Democrat or Republican.

A photo ID is still not required to vote in NC.
