RALEIGH: Governor Roy Cooper vetoed the following bill:

An act to set the date for the 2022 primary as June 7, 2022; to allow the state board of elections to issue temporary rules for conducting the 2022 primaries and elections; and to address other matters relating to the 2022 primary.

Governor Cooper made the following statement on HB 605:

"This bill is an additional attempt by Republican legislators to control the election timeline and undermine the voting process. The constitutionality of congressional and legislative districts is now in the hands of the North Carolina Supreme Court and the Court should have the opportunity to decide how much time is needed to ensure that our elections are constitutional."
