North Carolina voters decided on three constitutional amendments

North Carolina voters decided Tuesday on three proposed constitutional amendments placed on the ballot by state lawmakers. The amendments would restrict income tax rates, limit property tax increases, and make it harder to change state rules on voter identification. Education advocacy groups and local governments opposed the tax proposals over concerns about flexibility to fund future operations.¹

Opponents of the voter ID amendment argued the hurdles to change election law would be too high.¹
