This thought is not original with me, but I haven't seen any coverage of it, so I wanted to mention it. Now that same-day registration in North Carolina has been eliminated, the registration deadline is 30 days before the election. In Wake County, some municipal elections are held on October 8th, and some are held on November 5th (and there may be some run-off elections on November 5th if there wasn't an outright winner in some of the October 8th races).
Here's the conundrum: the registration deadline for the October 8th election is September 13th, and the registration deadline for the November 5th deadline is October 11th. What happens to young people who turn 18 between September 13th and October 8th or who turn 18 between November 5th and October 11th?
They can't register till they're 18, but the registration deadline will have passed. They'll be 18 on Election Day, but won't be registered to vote. They can vote a provisional ballot, but unless a directive is received from the State Board of Elections, some counties may allow those ballots and some may not. This sounds like very real disenfranchisement to me.
