Electoral reform in North Carolina

Electoral reform in North Carolina

Electoral reform in North Carolina refers to efforts to change the voting and election laws in the Tarheel State. Cary, North Carolina was scheduled to hold its first instant runoff voting election on October 9, 2007, and Hendersonville, North Carolina is scheduled to use IRV for the first time on November 6, 2007. Wake County, North Carolina had chosen Cary as a test site for the system [ [http://www.wral.com/news/local/politics/story/1886176/ Cary Chosen to Test New Voting Method for Runoffs] , Renee Chou, WRAL-TV, 2007.] . In 2007, bills were introduced to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact and award the state's 15 electoral votes to the winner of the nationwide popular vote, but these bills did not become law.
