"This case is about targeted efforts to place additional, unnecessary, burdensome, and ultimately unjustifiable obstacles between students at three North Carolina universities-including the nation's largest historically Black university-and this fundamental constitutional right,"
"intentionally target the rights of young voters."
College Democrats of North Carolina and several students sued state and local election officials to restore three on-campus early-voting sites. Republican-controlled election boards voted to reject the sites ahead of the March 2026 primary. Denied locations include North Carolina A&T State University, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and Western Carolina University; an early-voting site at Elon University was also rejected. North Carolina A&T students had previously fought for an on-campus site before 2020, while Western Carolina and UNC Greensboro operated such sites since 2016 and at least 2012. Plaintiffs contend the closures intentionally target young voters and create unnecessary, burdensome obstacles to voting. The state will still have ten on-campus early-voting sites this year, up from nine in 2022.
