Friday, November 14th, at 11:00 am at the Rowan County Elections Board.The Two Nanas just found out that Election Boards across NC will soon be voting on the 2026 Early Voting calendar for the 2026 General Elections Primaries. Your presence and/or voices are once again needed! (yes, this has to be done with all elections and 2026 is quite important!)

• Rowan Elections Board will meet on Friday, November 14th, at 11:00 am at the Rowan County Elections Board to select the Early Voting Calendar for 2026 primaries. Because of construction, allow time to park and walk through the old mall to the Election Board offices. Try to arrive by 10:45 am. 
• Why do we need to show up again? As far as we know, this will be a one and done decision, so we need to remind Rowan Election Board members that their duty is to listen to the people and select a plan that benefits the voters across our large county with a plan that provides the most opportunities for citizens to exercise their right to vote! 
• Why 17 days? Why wouldn’t we want 17 consecutive days of Early Voting during this most important 2026 General Election Primary?We’ve had 17 days before. 
• Organize, don’t agonize! Show up, email the Board Members, and write Letters to the Editor. Our voices matter. (contact details at the end of this email.) 
• Don’t allow those who want to suppress the vote and voice of the people think we aren’t paying attention. Bring friends and forward this email to those interested.
