Proposed regulations on voter ID in 2016 in NC released
The public can now comment on proposed rules governing how precinct officials will determine if someone has the required photo identification to vote in person starting in 2016.

Draft regulations from the State Board of Elections were released Friday. There will be eight public comment hearings across the state:

Written comments may be submitted by June 30. Comments can be emailed to rules@ncsbe.gov or mailed to P.O. Box 27255, Raleigh, NC 27611-7255 to the attention of Rule-making Coordinator George McCue.
The rules implement a 2013 state law listing the acceptable forms of ID. They focus primarily on how to decide whether the person pictured on a card matches the person seeking to vote. That decision could ultimately be up to election judges at the voting site.
The voter ID mandate has been challenged in both state and federal court. Trials are scheduled this summer.
