BEST PRACTICES
It is the practice of the DCABP PAC to interview candidates who express interest in obtaining the DCABP PAC endorsement. To be considered for endorsement, candidates must submit written responses to the DCABP questionnaire by the stated deadline.
​
Upon receipt of the completed questionnaire, candidates are scheduled for an interview, and vetted by the DCABP Political Committee leadership and PAC members.
Following the interviews and deliberation by the PAC, a recommended slate of candidates is presented to the DCABP general body for certification and endorsement.
Endorsements are determined by a majority vote of the DCABP general body. Candidates are notified of the results.

NC Real ID Requirements
(Voter ID Requirements)
​
Voters will be asked to show photo ID when voting in North Carolina.
For most voters, they will simply show their driver’s license. But there are many other acceptable photo IDs.
​
If a voter does not have an acceptable photo ID, they can get one for free from the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV). Find more information under “No-Fee ID Cards” at State IDs | NCDMV. Soon, voters will also be able to get free ID from their county board of elections.
​
All voters will be allowed to vote with or without a photo ID. If a voter cannot show photo ID when voting in person, they can still vote by filling out an ID Exception Form. For absentee-by-mail voters, if they are unable to include a copy of their photo ID in their ballot return envelope, they can also fill out an ID Exception Form with their ballot. Find more information under ID Exceptions below.
