Page 1: Last call for the URGENT CALL TO ACTION to send an email to the North Carolina State Board of Elections in support of Sunday voting for the March 2024 Primary Election before they meet to vote on December 19. As a reminder, because the Chatham County Board of Elections split on their recent vote to have one day of Sunday voting, the matter now goes to the State Board of Elections to decide. A strong show of letters in support of Sunday voting from Chatham Democrats can go a long way in persuading the NCSBE to approve Sunday voting. Please take five minutes to send an email to NCSBE.
