June Primary In February, the General Assembly enacted S.L. 2016-01 and S.L. 2016-02, which redrew districts for the U.S. House of Representatives and established a primary for U.S. House of Representatives on June 7, 2016. Those district lines are under review by a federal court and are not final. To check your new district under the proposed plan, click here. http://www.ncsbe.gov/Elections/Election-Information
Are the courts under a mandate or anything to review these districts prior to the primary? Or are the primaries based on new districts now?
The primaries are based on the new districts. The courts will be reviewing, but until that time we have new districts in NC. It's very confusing to both candidates and voters. Sherry
