Federal court schedules April 2024 trial in felon voting case

A federal lawsuit challenging North Carolina’s restrictions against felon voting is scheduled to go to trial in April 2024. If that timeline holds, felons would be unable to vote in this year’s municipal elections or next year’s March 5 primaries. Participation in the 2024 general election could depend on the outcome of the case, titled N.C. A. Philip Randolph Institute v. N.C. State Board of Elections.
