Stop NC HB 958 Now
North Carolina House Bill 958 is a sweeping 38-page elections overhaul that would make significant changes to how voters register, cast ballots, and have their votes counted across the state. Key provisions include reducing early voting periods during primaries, primary runoffs, and special elections; eliminating days of mail voting; prohibiting mail ballot requests made by phone or by family members; and allowing candidates to challenge eligible votes after election day. The bill also increases political appointee hiring at the State Board of Elections, raising concerns about the independence and transparency of election administration.
Critics, including the League of Women Voters and the NC Conservation Voters, argue that HB 958 stacks suppression tactics that disproportionately burden eligible voters while reducing public transparency around the election process. After passing the House, the Senate replaced the bill with a proposed committee substitute that advocates say made the legislation even more restrictive.
Constituents are urging their state legislators and Governor to oppose HB 958 in its current form and to reject any version of this bill that reduces voting access, shortens early voting windows, restricts mail ballot procedures, or undermines the integrity and independence of election administration in North Carolina.

Hello, I am an assistant calling on behalf of a constituent, {{first_name}} {{last_name}} from {{city}}, {{state}} zip code {{zip_code}}. The constituent is calling to urge {{representative_name}} to vote NO on House Bill 958 and to oppose any committee substitute that retains its most restrictive provisions. HB 958 would reduce early voting periods, eliminate days of mail voting, ban mail ballot requests made by phone or through family members, and allow post-election challenges to eligible votes. These changes would make it harder for working families, seniors, and rural voters to participate in our democracy. The constituent asks {{representative_name}} to stand with North Carolina voters by opposing this bill, and to support legislation that expands — not restricts — access to the ballot. Will {{representative_name}} commit to voting NO on HB 958?
