Six Constitutional Amendments on the Ballot This Fall

Six Constitutional Amendments on the Ballot This Fall

Six proposed amendments to the North Carolina Constitution will be on the ballot for voter approval this fall. If adopted by a majority of voters, these amendments would require voters to provide photo identification before voting in person; cap North Carolina’s personal income tax rate at 7%; give the state legislature a role in filling judicial vacancies; give the state legislature (rather than the Governor) authority to make appointments to state government boards and commissions; create constitutional (rather than statutory) rights for crime victims; and create a constitutional (rather than statutory) right to hunt and fish. Four of the six amendments were passed by the General Assembly’s Republican super majority along essentially party line votes over the opposition of the Democratic minority in what many people see as one more attempt by the Republican-controlled General Assembly to increase their power, limit voting rights, and increase Republican turn-out in the 2018 fall elections. It’s important to educate all North Carolina voters about what these amendments will and won’t do. So step 1 is to educate yourself. Step 2 is to educate your friends, your congregation, your neighbors, and your community. And step 3 is to get out and vote.
