CHARLOTTE — Dozens of schools and government agencies are asking the state board of elections to allow their ID cards to be used at the polls this fall.
The board of elections provided Channel 9 with a list of places that applied.
Charlotte-area schools that applied included Wingate University, UNC Charlotte, App State, JCSU, Livingstone College, and Davidson College.
However, there were four glaring local omissions.
The following did not:
- Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
- Central Piedmont Community College
- City of Charlotte
- Mecklenburg County
We reached out to all of them to ask why not.
A spokesperson for CPCC said the current ID equipment and software do not print a date on the cards.
The school says having a date is a voter ID requirement and they will have to update their system.
