North Carolina voters are already required by state law to provide photo identification when voting, including when voting absentee by mail. So what would the proposed constitutional amendment change, and why does it matter?
A new article from The Conversationalist takes a closer look at North Carolina's proposed voter ID amendment as part of its Down-Ballot series highlighting state measures to watch in the 2026 election.
