League of Women Voters Releases Statement on NC Constitutional Amendments for 2018 General Election Ballot

9/5/2018

 
LWVNC Positions on NC Constitutional Amendments for 2018 General Election BallotHB913: AN ACT TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION OF NORTH CAROLINA TO ESTABLISH A BIPARTISAN BOARD OF ETHICS AND ELECTIONS ENFORCEMENT AND TO CLARIFY BOARD APPOINTMENTS.

(a) Remove the governor’s ability to appoint some members of state boards and commissions, giving the statelegislature the power to make these appointments; and
(b) Restructure the Bipartisan State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement

LWVNC position: OPPOSE

(a) The proposed transfer of appointment powers from the governor to the legislature violates the separation ofpowers principle in our constitution.
​

(b) This amendment allows for representation on the Board of Ethics and Elections from the two parties with themost members in both the NC House and Senate; but it is likely to be a prescription for deadlock since there willbe a total of eight members on the Board.
