As North Carolina counties begin planning for the 2020 General Election, the Southern Coalition for Social Justice and Democracy North Carolina are sending letters to the boards of elections in 60 counties offering information and research on how best to serve voters in their communities amid funding and public health concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. Each letter provides the county with important research on local voting patterns and suggestions for improving the voter experience. Based on data from the 2016 and 2018 elections, the letters provide county election officials with specific recommendations on prioritizing early voting locations and days based on historic usage rates, both for the general voting population and for voters of color.
