08 NCAC 02 .0109. NO FRIVOLOUS PROTESTS

Latest version.

Neither the county board of elections nor the State Board of Elections will investigate or conduct any hearing of charges or protests frivolous in nature, or which in the opinion of either board have been filed for the mere purpose of delay, or which have not been made in good faith.

When any charges are preferred either before the county board of elections or the State Board of Elections, with respect to the canvass or the vote in any primary or general election, pending the hearing an examination or inspection of the ballots and other official documents of the election officials shall be permitted under such conditions as the board may prescribe in each particular case, great care being exercised in each instance to preserve all ballots and official records and papers.
