NC voters said ‘yes' to constitutional amendments on taxes: What this means for you

North Carolinians on Tuesday approved all three proposed constitutional amendments concerning taxes and voter ID, with about 60% of voters choosing “yes” to each. So what happens now? When will we see tax relief? We have some bad news for anyone who voted for the amendments expecting some benefit in the near term. In reality, the three measures won’t actually change anything about how you vote or how much you pay in taxes — at least for now. We’ll explain. What will NC’s new constitutional amendments do? Voter photo ID: This requires “ all voters, not just those presenting to vote in person, to present photo identification before voting.” A photo ID is already required to vote in North Carolina, so this amendment will make no practical change to how North Carolinians vote, experts have told us. It will, however, lock in current requirements and make them harder to update if elected officials ever change their stance years from now. Income tax cap: This amendment will keep the state income tax rate from being raised higher than 3.5%. The current rate is 3.99% and was already set to drop to 3.49% in 2027, so North Carolina workers won’t see any

NC's e-bike law changes Dec. 1. How western Wake towns are responding

Apex is moving toward new e-bike rules that could expand helmet requirements for younger riders and clarify where electric bicycles can travel. The proposed changes come as a new North Carolina law takes effect Dec. 1, changing which e-bikes are permitted on roads and greenways. The new law also will require helmets for Class 3 e-bike riders and passengers under 18. Towns can also require helmets for riders and passengers under 18 on Class 1 and 2 e-bikes, but the new law does not mandate those additional requirements statewide. A separate, existing state law already requires bicycle helmets for anyone under 16. Apex’s Public Safety Committee on Thursday, Nov. 5, backed limited amendments to existing bicycle regulations, rather than a comprehensive e-bike ordinance. “Making huge regulatory changes at this stage may be the wrong thing. We may be over-regulating,” council member Ed Gray told The News & Observer after the meeting. But Gray also supports a uniform helmet requirement for younger riders, saying it would be easier to understand and enforce. The Town Council must approve any amendments, which it could do as soon as Dec. 17. The new rules Under the new state law, Class 1 bikes provide motor

I asked experts to sum up NC's historic midterm results in 5 words or less | Opinion

We’re all still trying to process a shocking Election Day in North Carolina and across the country. The blue wave was more of a tsunami , delivering a brutal wipeout for Republicans even in their safest territory. As of Wednesday afternoon, Roy Cooper led by a margin of 19 points , the largest U.S. Senate victory in North Carolina in 50 years. Democrats have landed just one seat short of a trifecta in state government, with an outright 72-seat supermajority in the N.C. House and a nearly even split in the N.C. Senate. A congressional map drawn to give Republicans an 11-3 advantage is on track to split 10-4 in favor of Democrats. Nobody really saw it coming. So I asked some experts and political operatives to sum up their reaction to North Carolina’s midterm results in five words or less. Here’s what they said: Michael Bitzer , director of the Center for North Carolina Politics & Public Service at Catawba College: “Historic Bloodbath.” David McLennan , political scientist and former director of the Meredith Poll: “The House races were unexpected.” Tariq Bokhari , Republican who served four terms on Charlotte City Council: “Compromise just became a requirement.” (He also

Incumbent Donald Davis (D) defeated Laurie Buckhout (R) and Tom Bailey (L) in the general election for North Carolina's 1st Congressional District

Incumbent Donald Davis (D) defeated Laurie Buckhout (R) and Tom Bailey (L) in the general election for North Carolina's 1st Congressional District on November 3, 2026. The election took place in the context of redistricting, which changed the district's boundaries from those used in 2024. Inside Elections' Nathaniel Rakich said, "[T]he 1st District has gone from an evenly divided Baseline (technically, it was ever so slightly Democratic-leaning at D+0.3) to R+8. Some Democratic candidates over the past decade, including current Gov. Josh Stein in 2024 and former Auditor Beth Wood in 2020, would have still won it under the new boundaries, but they are the exception rather than the rule: Republicans would have carried it in 50 of the last 56 statewide elections." President Donald Trump (R) defeated Kamala Harris (D) 55.4%–43.8% in the 2024 presidential election in the 2026 version of the 1st District. As of November 2026, major election forecasters rated the general election Toss-up or Lean Democratic.
