North Carolina voters face 3 constitutional questions

What voters will decide

North Carolina voters will have three proposed constitutional amendments to consider on Election Day. The measures ask voters to decide whether the state Constitution should be changed.

The amendments are ballot questions rather than contests between candidates. Voters should consider each proposal separately and make a choice on every question they want to answer. A decision about one amendment does not require a voter to make the same choice on the others.

The proposals remain proposed changes until voters decide them. Election Day is the point at which North Carolinians can register their decisions on the three constitutional questions.

Reading the amendment questions

Voters can review the official ballot wording before making their choices. Constitutional language can have effects beyond a single election, so the exact text of each proposal is central to the decision.

The three amendments are not directly linked to a candidate race. That means the relevant choice is whether to approve or reject each proposed constitutional change, not which candidate should hold office.

Before voting, North Carolinians can look for the official wording of all three questions and any state election guidance about how they will appear on the ballot. Voters should also check their Election Day voting information through official election channels. The ballot itself will present the formal questions on which votes are counted.
