flag Voters' 2024 election reform mandate blocked by state; lawsuit claims it undermines democracy.

flag A lawsuit has been filed in Watauga County challenging North Carolina’s decision to delay a voter-approved election reform that would have changed how local commissioners and school board members are elected. flag The 2024 referendum, backed by 71% of voters, aimed to shift to a mixed district and at-large system, but the legislature blocked the change until 2034. flag Plaintiffs, including voting rights groups and a former state official, argue the move undermines democratic principles by overriding a clear voter mandate. flag The case centers on the conflict between state legislative authority and local self-governance in election administration.
