Whereas, NC General Statue 163-234(2) states that the county board of elections shall meet on election day in the board office at the hour stated in a resolution adopted by the county board at least two weeks prior to the time the voting place opens in accordance with G.S. 163-166.25, provided that the time stated in the resolution is between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. for the purpose of counting all absentee ballots except those which have been challenged before 9:00 a.m. on election day and those received pursuant to G.S. 163 231(b)(2). The board shall not announce the result of the count prior to the close of polls on election day.

Whereas, the county board may meet after the day of the election and prior to the day of canvass to count absentee ballots received pursuant to G.S. 163-231(b)(2) upon the adoption of a resolution adopted at least two weeks prior to the time the voting place opens.
