HOUSE BILL 996

 

 

AN ACT TO AMEND CHAPTER 167, PRIVATE LAWS OF 1915, THE SAME BEING THE CHARTER OF FUQUAY-VARINA, TO PROVIDE FOR REGISTRATION OF VOTERS THEREIN.

 

The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

Section 1. Chapter 167, Private Laws of 1915, is hereby amended by rewriting Section 10 thereof, to read as follows:

"Sec. 10. The Board of Commissioners shall give twenty days' notice of any municipal election by advertisement in a newspaper published in the municipality and by posting it at three other places within the town. The Board of Commissioners is hereby authorized, in its discretion, to establish and maintain a continuous full-time registration system for the registration of voters. It shall be the duty of the registration officials to keep the registration current by purging the registration books of those electors who have died, moved outside the corporate limits, failed to vote for a period of six years, or who have otherwise become disqualified. In purging the registration books, the procedures set forth in G. S. 163-31.2, G. S. 163-23, and G. S. 163-46, insofar as applicable, shall be used. Any elector may challenge any registered voter as provided in Chapter 163 of the General Statutes for challenges in those counties having a full-time registration system. Nothing herein contained shall prohibit the municipality from taking appropriate action through the governing body thereof to use the Wake County registration books, process or records for municipal elections as provided in Chapter 163 of the General Statutes."

Sec. 2. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 3. This Act shall be in full force and effect from and after its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 4th day of June, 1965.
