The ERA-NC Alliance has joined forces with VoteEquality.us to highlight equality-minded candidates in 2020. Below you’ll find North Carolina voter resources and tips.
This year we’re urging voters to be especially mindful to make a voting plan – COVID-19 has raised the urgency of secure absentee voting and how to stay safe while voting in person. We’ve also conducted our 2020 Candidates Survey to find out which candidates will support North Carolina’s ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment, so voters can know which candidates have an equality mindset.
PRIORITY ACTION:
Check your voter registration; is everything is still correct?
