(a)The chair of a county political party may send a runner to obtain copies of the list of persons who have voted at each voting place during the times the voting place is open for voting. The chair of a county political party shall provide a written list of the runners to be used in accordance with the process for appointing observers in accordance with G.S. 163-45.1.

(b)The runner shall only enter the voting enclosure to announce the runner's presence and obtain a copy of the list of the persons who have voted that day. The runner must leave immediately after being provided a copy of the list.

(c)The State Board shall determine the times at which these lists may be obtained. However, runners must be able to obtain copies of the list at least three times each day with at least one hour between obtaining the copies. Counties using an "authorization to vote document" instead of pollbooks are in compliance with this requirement if they allow runners to inspect election records so that the runner can create a list of who has voted at each voting place. The State Board may also publish copies of the list of who has voted that day on the State Board's website. (2023-140, s. 7(c).)
