HB 967 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Disorderly Conduct at Voting Places.

HB 967 clarifies that voting places during voting hours are explicitly included as "public buildings" under North Carolina's disorderly conduct law (G.S. 14-132). This means actions like making loud disturbances, vandalism, or creating nuisances at polling locations during voting hours would now be covered by the misdemeanor statute. The bill directly affects voters, election workers, and anyone engaging in conduct near polling sites during official voting hours. It expands existing disorderly conduct protections to specifically cover voting places, effective October 1, 2025.
