It’s time again to show up at the Rowan County Elections Board for the discussion and possible vote on the Rowan Early Calendar for this fall’s midterms. – Wednesday, June 10th, 12:30 pm, at the Rowan County Elections Board, 1935 Jake Alexander Blvd, inside the Rowan County Community Center (formerly West End Plaza or the old Salisbury mall.)  PLEASE WEAR WHITE to demonstrate unity for the most accessible voting for all voters. Your presence makes a difference as we make a community impact. 

Thank you from the Two Nanas, Pam & Nan (we’re for Plan E)  

And this is the timeless question – Why wouldn’t we want to make voting easier for all voters? As we write this, our own Rowan and Stanly County Senator Carl Ford is one of the sponsors of Senate Bill 1084 to cut the Early Voting period down to 10 days instead of the popular 17 days. “A Catawba-YouGov survey from August 2024 found strong bipartisan support for 17 days of early voting when asked if that was too short, too long, or just about right. Nearly 70% said 17 days was about right, including 75% of Democrats, 64% of Republicans, and about 68% of independent voters, according to the poll.“ https://ncnewsline.com/2026/05/21/nc-republican-senators-propose-cuts-to-the-states-most-popular-voting-method/

• Mark your calendar today and arrive by noon to allow time to walk to the Board Room and arrive before the 12:30 meeting time.  
• Public comment is often limited. Come early to sign up if you wish to make public comment. Wearing white will help identify those advocating for the most accessible Early Voting Calendar possible for Rowan voters. 
• Please consider sending an email to the Board whether attending or not. It can be as short as requesting your choice of plan or include a paragraph that describes why Early Voting is important in your life or your neighbors. sharon.main@rowancountync.gov (we personally encourage Plan E. It is less confusing and most accessible with 17 consecutive days.
• Please share this email with friends and family and bring a friend or two.
