Less than a month before Election Day, Hurricane Helene has caused disruptions in elections infrastructure and postal services in several states. The impact of the hurricane has been particularly felt in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina.
In response to the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, election officials in the affected areas have been working diligently to ensure that voters can securely cast their early ballots. In North Carolina, the election board unanimously passed a resolution to grant the most affected counties the flexibility to adjust early voting sites and schedules. Displaced voters are also allowed to drop off absentee ballots at other county boards of election where they have relocated.
