North Carolina Bill to Move Primary for All Office to March 1

On April 1, North Carolina Representative David Lewis (R-Harnett) introduced HB 457. It would move the primary for president and all other office to the first Tuesday in March. Current law says the presidential primary should be in February and the primary for all other office in May.

If enacted, the bill would have no effect on petition deadlines for newly-qualifying parties or independent candidates. Thanks to Josh Putnam for the news.
