H278

Protect Military Votes

Introduced·3/4/25

Military voters in North Carolina casting overseas ballots will not need photo ID.

North Carolina H278 aims to ensure military voters casting ballots overseas do not need to include photo identification. This bill amends the state's election statutes to explicitly state that covered voters voting under a military-overseas ballot are exempt from the requirement of including a photocopy of identification or an affidavit when submitting their ballot. This change takes effect immediately upon the bill's enactment and applies to ballots cast after that date.
