北卡罗来纳州州长乔什·斯坦批评州选举委员会近期对邮寄选票的修改，称这些变更导致数千张缺席选票被额外拒收。
Gov. Josh Stein is criticizing recent State Board of Elections changes for mail-in ballots, saying the changes have contributed to thousands more absentee ballot rejections.
在一条社交媒体帖子中，斯坦州长表示，拒收率是2022年的两倍，并敦促北卡罗来纳州选民制定投票计划，尽可能选择亲自投票。
In a social media post, Gov. Stein said the rejection rate is twice as high as it was in 2022, and he urged North Carolina voters to make a plan to vote, preferably in person when possible.
斯坦还提醒通过邮寄方式退回缺席选票的选民，务必确保选票容器和回邮信封均已密封。选民可通过该州的 BallotTrax 网站追踪邮寄选票的状态。10月20日是申请缺席选票的最后一天。
Stein also reminded voters who return absentee ballots by mail to make sure both the ballot container and return envelope are sealed. Voters can track the status of a mail-in ballot through the state’s BallotTrax website. Oct. 20 was the last day to request an absentee ballot.
州选举委员会在最后关头对邮寄投票规则的更改，导致本次大选中被拒收的缺席选票增加数千张——拒收率是2022年的两倍。这令人愤怒。北卡罗来纳州民请制定今年的投票计划，尽可能亲自投票。如果您选择邮寄投票，请务必密封选票的两个信封。不要让他们剥夺您的投票权。
The State Board of Elections’ last-minute changes to voting by mail are leading to thousands more absentee ballots being rejected this election - at a rejection rate twice as high as in 2022. It’s infuriating. North Carolinians, please make a plan to vote this year, in person if possible. And if you’re voting by mail, make sure you seal both envelopes on your ballot. Don’t let them take away your vote.
