North Carolina’s soldier voting program, enacted to allow service members to vote absentee without poll tax hurdles, drew heavy publicity at signing but yielded disappointing results. Through noon election day only 2,419 ballots were returned or dispatched, with roughly 100,600 potential voters and just 0.25 percent participation. The state secretary of state’s office reported delays and unaddressed applications, while amendments in other states drew notice on legislative sessions and spending rules.
