State Board Randomly Determines Ballot Order for 2026 Elections | NCSBE

Pursuant to Arrangement of official ballots (N.C.G.S. § 163-165.6(c)), the State Board is required to randomly determine the order by last name of candidates on the ballot. The order was determined by a two-step process. First, a ball was selected out of a bingo machine, with the letter on the ball corresponding with the first letter of the last name of the candidate to be listed first on the ballot. Second, a coin was flipped, with the side facing up corresponding to whether the candidates will be listed in alphabetical order (“heads”) or reverse alphabetical order (“tails”).

North Carolina General Statute 163-166.3: Limited Access To The Voting Enclosure

North Carolina law prohibits taking photographs of or videotaping voted ballots under Limited access to the voting enclosure (N.C.G.S. § 163-166.3). Voters are allowed to have phones or electronic devices with them while voting as long as those devices are not used to photograph or videotape a ballot or communicate with anyone via voice, text, email, or any other method.

Photographing a marked ballot is illegal in part because such photographs could be used as proof of a vote for a candidate in a vote-buying scheme. Electronic communication while voting is prohibited because of limits on voter assistance and to prevent disruptions in the voting enclosure.

Voters may bring voting guides, notes, and other materials into the voting booth. They also may use electronic devices to access a slate card or candidate information, provided they don’t use the devices to communicate with anyone.
