Protect Voter Access: Maintain Early Voting Sites at N.C. A&T and UNCG

I urge the North Carolina Board of Elections to protect polling sites located on and around higher institution campuses. The recently proposed Guilford County Minority Plan and its exclusion of polling sites at North Carolina A&T and the University of North Carolina Greensboro is an infringement to voting rights of college students. These two polling sites are crucial and are hosts to over 33,000 students in Guilford County as well as members of the residing communities who may not have access to reliable transportation to the Greensboro Colosseum. I urge the NC State Board of Elections to carefully consider the impact of these polling sites on college students ability to exercise their fundamental right to vote, and to support these rights by reaffirming the majority plan of the Guilford County Board of Elections.
