North Carolina State Board of Elections
Contents |
Governance
The State Board of Elections is governed by a five person board[1].
Selection of members
All five members of the North Carolina State Board of Elections are nominated by the Governor of North Carolina[2]. Each member of the Board is nominated off the recommendation of the State Party Chairperson where the vacancy occurred. Each person serves a four year term and must fill out an economic statement of interest along with questioning from the North Carolina Ethics Commission[3].
Campaign finance discipline
If someone feels that a person or committee violated North Carolina campaign finance law, the first step is to file a complaint with the North Carolina State Board of Elections. It is up to the State Board of Elections to investigate all complaints to determine probable cause[4]. All complaints that result in apparent violations are directed to the respective district attorney in the county where the complaint happened[5].
