A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO ALLOW COUNTY BOARDS OF ELECTIONS IN COUNTIES WITH LESS THAN 14,001 REGISTERED VOTERS TO DETERMINE WHETHER TO BECOME A FULL-TIME OFFICE.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 163-67(b) reads as rewritten:
"(b)	In counties which have less than 14,001 registered voters the State Board of Elections shall prescribe reasonable regulations permitting such counties to operate a modified full-time office to the extent that the operation of such full-time office will not necessarily be required to be open such as is required in counties with total registered voters in excess of 14,000; provided, that nothing herein shall preclude such counties from maintaining office hours for registration consistent with the hours observed by all other offices within said county.  This subsection does not prohibit a county board of elections from determining that its office should become a full-time office, and such funding shall be made by the county board of commissioners of that county.  The determination should be at the discretion of the county board of elections."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
