“Some of the largest college campuses in the Triangle will not host early voting sites for the fall election.

The state’s new election law is the reason.

The law shortens the early voting period by a week while offering the same number of hours. It also says sites must provide both parking and curbside voting.

It’s mostly the last requirement that has eliminated early voting at sites on campuses that were used in previous elections.

The issue raised the ire of students and voting advocacy groups, and a lawsuit was brought over the removal of a site from Appalachian State University. On Wednesday, after an N.C. Court of Appeals decision, the State Board of Elections added a voting site at ASU. Minutes later, the state Supreme Court said it was sending the case to the Appeals Court to review.
