Board of Elections to decide whether or not to have Sunday early voting hours

BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NC (WECT) – The Brunswick County Board of Elections will meet Monday to decide whether or not to extend early voting hours to Sunday.

Brunswick County Commissioner Charles Warren and several area ministers are making the push for the Sunday voting hours. Warren said many minorities in the county attend church on Sunday mornings and some area churches have expressed interest in bussing people to polls to make voting easier.

Right now, there are no early voting hours scheduled for Sundays.

The board will meet Monday at 9 a.m. in their office at the Brunswick County Government Complex.
