| Description |
The General Assembly has been fighting with Gov. Roy Cooper over the State Board of Elections for several years now. The N.C. Supreme Court has ruled that the current constitution ensures that the governor has control over the board. This would eliminate that argument by enshrining a new system that includes an 8-member board appointed by assembly leaders. No more than 4 members can be from the same political party.
The proposed amendment also clarifies that the General Assembly has “control” over any “executive, legislative, or judicial appointment” — though it does not say how the legislature would exercise that and it’s not clear how different this is from the current set-up.
Opponents argue that this takes away what little remaining power the governor’s office has.
