North Carolina Students Sue Election Officials Over Closed Early Voting Sites

College Democrats of North Carolina and some North Carolina students sued state and local election officials Tuesday in an effort to restore three early-voting sites on college campuses.
Republican-controlled election boards voted to reject the early-voting sites ahead of the 2026 primary in March.
The lawsuit centers on denied sites at North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina’s largest historically Black university; the University of North Carolina at Greensboro; and Western Carolina University.
The lawsuit says North Carolina A&T students fought for their on-campus early-voting site ahead of the 2020 election.
Western Carolina University and UNC Greensboro had operated such sites since 2016 and at least 2012, respectively.
