NCMS Legislative Update

Originally published in NCMS Morning Rounds by the NCMS on July 6, 2020
Reprinted with permission from the NCMS

Election day is a few months away, but now is the time to educate yourself and make decisions not only on who you want to vote for, but also how you intend to vote this November. The NCMS is here to help.

First, some background on the electorate in our state. There are approximately 7 million registered voters who are relatively evenly distributed by party affiliation with 2.5 million registered as democrats, 2.1 million as republicans and about 2.3 million registered as unaffiliated. The last presidential election in 2016 saw the state’s highest voter turnout in history. Another interesting tidbit – physicians generally are 9 percent less likely than the general population to vote, which is why the NCMS wants to be sure you have all the information you need to cast your vote this year.

A great source is the NC State Board of Elections website, where you will find information including:

• How to register or make changes to your registration if you’ve moved since last you voted. If you have an NC driver’s license or state issued ID, you can now register or make certain changes to your registration online.
• Who is on your ballot. In the coming weeks you will be able to see who your choices are and begin to research who will get your vote. Access who is on your particular ballot through the voter lookup tool.
• How to request an absentee ballot if you want to vote by mail instead of in-person at a polling place. Anyone can request an absentee ballot and, thanks to newly adopted bi-partisan legislation, you only need one person to sign your ballot as a witness and it does not need to be notarized. You need to request the absentee ballot by Oct. 27, that’s a week before the election, and then return the completed ballot to your county Board of Elections by 5 p.m. on Election Day, which is Tuesday, Nov. 3, this year.

Casting your vote is a crucial way to make your voice heard!
