The voter ID Bill, along with additional funding for Hurricane Florence relief are at the top the special session agenda for lawmakers.

Those against the Voter ID Bill claim the measure disenfranchises minorities. However, voters said 'yes' to require an ID before casting a ballot.

"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States, or any state, on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude," said Dr. T. Anthony Spearman, president of the NC NAACP.

Legislative leaders say they're committed to an open and inclusive process as they continue to craft the wording and requirements of the bill.
