It's no secret, most of us would like to stay in our own home as we age. Yet, sometimes our loved ones just need a little extra help to remain comfortable at home. That's where Always Best Care can help....we are dedicated to exceeding expectations....always.
They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.
However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting North Carolina Executive Mansion in Raleigh, NC gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.
Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Raleigh, NC is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

“Always Best Care has been such a relief for our family. They were there when my mother-in-law came home from the hospital and have been incredibly flexible as her needs have changed. Brandi and Sabrina truly listen and care about finding what works best for Mom—and for us. They’ve worked hard to find the right caregiver who can keep her safe, help her maintain her independence, and take some of the stress of managing her care off our shoulders (even when Mom isn’t always the easiest customer!). I also love that they can help us navigate what comes next, from caregiving now to eventually finding the right placement when she needs a higher level of care. This stage of life is not easy, and having people you trust to help navigate it makes such a difference. We’re so grateful to have them in our corner.”

She thoughtfully recommended communities that aligned with her needs, coordinated all the appointments, and personally drove us to each visit. Whenever questions arose, she promptly followed up with staff and ensured we had the information needed to make informed decisions. Her patience, attentiveness, and genuine care made what could have been an overwhelming process feel smooth and manageable. Thanks to Kathryn, we were able to move forward with confidence in this important next stage of life.”

“Always Best Care has been such a great experience. I recently started in August, and from the very beginning, Sabrina and Shawn have been incredibly supportive, welcoming, and helpful. They’ve taken the time to make sure I feel comfortable in my role, answer any questions I have, and provide guidance whenever needed. It’s clear they truly care not only about their clients, but also about their staff. The positive environment and strong communication have made a big difference, and I already feel like part of a team that values compassion and professionalism. I’m really looking forward to continuing to grow here and being part of such a dedicated organization.”
“I have used Always Best Care several times when I was away and my mother needed care. They were very responsive in the initial setup and visit. Sabrina is outstanding. She is patient and caring with my mother, who has dementia. Mother doesn't do well with strangers but was comfortable with Sabrina and her backup. They assisted with catheter care, dressing and meals. I have no reservations recommending ABC to a family needing help with a loved one.”

Their compassion and understanding made my Mom feel safe and secure, even during difficult times. For that, they have earned a client for life. The way they have loved on her since leaving the hospital make me smile.”
“Amazing company!!!! They definitely put the needs of the clients first. If you are looking for a company you can trust your loved one with, then I would definitely recommend this company!!!”

What makes ABC different is that they really care about their customers, and you can truly feel that when you’re dealing with their caregivers. I feel so much better knowing that my grandfather is in the hands of people who truly care about his wellbeing.

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.
When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.
The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.
At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.
To give our senior clients the best care possible, we offer a full spectrum of in-home care services:
If your senior loved one has specific care needs, our personal care services are a great choice to consider. Personal care includes the standard caregiving duties associated with companion care and includes help with tasks such as dressing and grooming. Personal care can also help individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes.
Common personal care services include assistance with:
Sometimes, seniors need helpful reminders to maintain a high quality of life at home. If you or your senior has trouble with everyday tasks like cooking, our home helper services will be very beneficial.
Common home helper care services include assistance with:
Using this kind of care is a fantastic way to make life easier for you or your senior loved one. At Always Best Care, our talented caregivers often fill the role of a companion for seniors. That way, older adults can enjoy their favorite local activities, such as visiting Pullen Park in Raleigh, NC with friends while also receiving the care they need daily or weekly.
Common companionship services include:
According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local The Capital Grille or visit Mordecai House, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.
At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.
If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.
Always Best Care in-home services are for older adults who prefer to stay at home but need ongoing care that friends and family cannot provide. In-home care is a safe, effective way for seniors to age gracefully in a familiar place and live independent, non-institutionalized lives. The benefits of non-medical home care are numerous. Here are just a few reasons to consider senior care services from Always Best Care:
According to AARP, 9 out of 10 seniors prefer to age in place within the comfort of their own home. With in-home care, seniors have a way to stay at home, receive the care they need, and maintain a sense of independence, improving overall wellness.
If you or a member of your family have assumed the role of caregiver for your senior loved one, you know how stressful the job can be. Between caregiver burnout and constant worry, being a family caregiver is hard. In-home care relieves your burden and gives you peace of mind knowing that your older family member is in expert hands.
Unlike nursing homes, where the staff and residents rotate frequently, seniors can foster new friendships and build bonds with their caregiver. Seniors who socialize on a regular basis are often happier, which fosters positivity and leads to increased wellbeing.
No two seniors need the same kind of in-home care assistance. That is why each of our Care Plans is tailored to meet our client's individual needs. We offer plans that cover everything from light housekeeping to more involved duties like transportation to doctor's appointments. Our Care Coordinators will work closely with you to develop a personalized plan to ensure your senior's needs are exceeded.
Always Best Care offers a full array of care options for patients at all levels of health. With our trusted elderly care services, your loved one will receive the level of care necessary for them to enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.
In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.
How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?
A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.
With the help of elderly care in Raleigh, NC, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.
Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.
Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.
For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.
More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.
In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.
With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.
In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.
Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.
At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.
In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:
When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.
Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.
At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Raleigh, NC understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.
Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.
Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.
While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.
Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.
At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.
Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:
At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.
Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.
Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:
For many seniors, moving into a senior living community revolves around how and when they want to make a transition to more involved care. Some seniors are more proactive about transitioning to independent living. Others choose to remain home until their care needs or other requirements are satisfied. Remember - our staff is here to help. Contact our office today to learn more about assisted living communities and how we can find a facility that exceeds your expectations.
The first step in getting quality in-home care starts with a personal consultation with an experienced Always Best Care Care Coordinator. This initial consultation is crucial for our team to learn more about you or your elderly loved one to discover the level of care required. Topics of this consultation typically include:
A discussion of your needs and how our trained caregivers can offer assistance in the most effective way
A draft of your care plan, which includes highly detailed notes and a framework for the care that you or your senior will receive
Discuss payment options and help coordinate billing with your insurance provider
Our caregivers are trained to spot changes that clients exhibit, like mental and physical decline. As your trusted senior care company, we will constantly assess and update your Care Plan to meet any new emotional, intellectual, physical, and emotional needs.
If you have never considered in-home care before, we understand that you and your family may have concerns about your Care Plan and its Care Coordinator. To help give you peace of mind, know that every team member and caregiver must undergo comprehensive training before being assigned to a Care Plan.
At the end of the day, we only hire the best of the best at Always Best Care. Whether you need home care in Raleigh, NC 24-hours a day or only need a respite for a couple of hours, we are here to serve you.
When you're ready, we encourage you to contact your local Always Best Care representative to set up a Care Consultation. Our Care Coordinators would be happy to meet with you in person to get to know you better, discuss your needs, and help put together a personalized Care Plan specific to your needs.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- A proposed data center planned for southeast Raleigh is off the table for now after the company behind the project withdrew its request to annex the property into the city, according to city officials.
The proposed project involved a nearly 100,000-square-foot data center on a 14-acre site along Jones Sausage Road near Rock Quarry Road. The annexation request had been scheduled to appear on the Raleigh City Council agenda in two days.
The proposal generated significant opposition. The city said more than 130 people had signed up to speak about the project.
Some people who live nearby told ABC11 they were unaware a data center was planned next to their homes, while others voiced strong opposition.
Although the annexation item remained on the council agenda, city leaders confirmed the request had been withdrawn.
The property is partially owned by Charlotte-based Beacon Partners, which said it is not involved in the proposed project.
"Beacon Partners entered into a contract to sell the parcel back in November 2025 and is not involved in the prospective project in any capacity. We are aware that the purchaser withdrew their annexation application," the company said in a statement.
The withdrawal comes amid growing debate over data center development across the Triangle. Cities and counties in the region have been considering how to address concerns related to such projects, including Apex, where officials approved a 12-month moratorium on data centers.
"I mean, you have water consumption and environmental impacts and you have electric power, all those things and general infrastructure impacts. And we need to make sure that we have our rules in place under our UEO to address those concerns. And I have been very vocal about my thoughts about data centers based on what I know today," Apex Mayor Jacques Gilbert said.
"I don't think I've been convinced that they're the best for Apex. And as I quoted before, I'm not interested in a data center in Apex," Gilbert said.
Raleigh has not approved a broader moratorium on data centers and continues to evaluate proposals on a case-by-case basis.
Gilbert said regional cooperation may be necessary as communities consider future projects.
"And, you know, some of those things of what I've seen or heard or read about evolving data centers could be a problem in neighboring towns and cities if approved in another town. So we're watching. We're willing to work with other cities and towns to make sure that we get this right as a region," he said.
It is unclear whether a revised proposal could be submitted in the future. For now, the southeast Raleigh data center proposal has been withdrawn.
According to our newsgathering partners at The News & Observer, the proposal would have brought a data center to a site near residential neighborhoods in southeast Raleigh, prompting concerns from community members about the project's impact on the area. Council members had expressed skepticism about the proposal during recent discussions.
The withdrawal means the annexation request tied to the proposed development will no longer move forward.
The identity of the prospective purchaser behind the project was not immediately clear, and Raleigh officials have not indicated whether a revised proposal could be submitted in the future.

In Raleigh, N.C., Rosewood, a mixed-use multifamily community that recently broke ground, will span 399,000 sf across two podium buildings.
The luxury development will offer 269 leasable units ranging from 499 to 1,531 sf, in addition to 5,500 sf of retail space and a central public plaza. Rosewood’s premium units will have private terraces overlooking the central amenity space.
Located between the historic Boylan Heights neighborhood and the urban growth near Dix Park, Rosewood will serve as a connector between Downtown Raleigh and the city’s expanding greenway trail network.
Amid historic residences, emerging development, and nearby affordable housing communities, the design by Cline eschewed the industrial aesthetic often associated with Raleigh’s Warehouse District.
Instead, Rosewood draws on subtle midcentury modern influences, with warm brick detailing, arches, and layered materials that echo the nearby neighborhoods. The exterior’s wood accents contrast with its masonry and corrugated metal panels, and brick openings frame the retail storefronts.
The seven-story luxury development will provide wellness-focused amenities and outdoor recreation areas, including a sauna and cold plunge suite, private coworking areas, and a rooftop lounge and terrace. One of the buildings will feature a concealed speakeasy that, on the outside, will look like any other unit.
A central easement between the buildings will offer a visual and physical connection to outdoor amenities and the adjacent creek corridor, encouraging movement through the site and creating a strong connection with nature.
Developer Blue Heron Asset Management completed the project’s $12.85 million land acquisition earlier this year. Rosewood is expected to reach completion in 2028.
On the project team: Blue Heron Asset Management (developer), Cline (architect, interior designer, and landscape architect), WithersRavenel (civil engineer), EM Structural (structural engineer), Lighthouse Engineering (MEP engineer), W.M. Jordan Company (builder).

According to Duke Energy, the outage happened around 2:15 p.m., affecting about 35,000 customers, mostly in the Cary and Morrisville areas.
A contracted helicopter crew performing vegetation management for the railroad damaged a transmission line, and a tree fell onto a power line along the tracks in Cary.
The helicopter was not contracted by Duke Energy, the company said.
Power outages in Cary affected residents as well as operations at several Town of Cary facilities, resulting in closures and modified operations.
"Suddenly we get a notice over text. That power would be out until 5, and it's well past five without air conditioning," said resident Liam Goff. "The kids are going nuts. The dog is going nuts. But you make do. They have homework on the computer, and there's no WiFi, right? Which is the way it operates now, which is totally fine in most cases. But when you're dependent on it, and it doesn't work, uh, it's a problem."
The Goffs had their power restored just before 8 p.m.
At High House Mini Mart and gas station, the loss of power forced employees to rely on manual calculations after electronic systems went offline. Without electricity, card readers, receipt printers and gas pumps stopped working.
"When I got here, all the employees come on. And really, what are we going to do? I was like, back to pen and paper," said Lila Jabber of High House Mini Mart. Drivers attempting to buy fuel were turned away as the outage prevented pumps from operating.
At Downtown Cary Park, the 7 p.m. Zumba class was canceled, and Guest Services was closed.
The Cary Senior Center, Herbert C. Young Community Center, Bond Park Community Center, and Page-Walker Arts & History Center were closed, and all evening programs at those facilities were canceled. The Bond Park Boathouse is also closed.
At the Cary Arts Center, all evening classes, open studios, and rentals were canceled. The 7 p.m. screening of "Horsegirls" at The Cary Theater was canceled, and ticket holders were notified.
Duke Energy is continuing to investigate the cause. Duke Energy spokesperson Jeff Brooks said the estimated time of restoration was 9 p.m. Power was fully restored late Thursday evening.
"We're working hard to complete the repair to the damaged equipment and get everyone restored as safely and quickly as possible," Brooks told ABC11.
Brooks said Duke Energy was working to switch customers to other lines to restore service more quickly.
The Cary outage was not the first this week. Multiple outages were documented in the region, including near downtown Raleigh on Tuesday and several outages in north Raleigh on Wednesday.
Duke Energy said nearly 46,000 customers have experienced power outages so far this week.
"We've certainly seen demand for electricity increase. It's been very hot, and everybody wants to stay cool. Obviously, so that does mean an increase in usage. Fortunately, we've been able to meet that demand reliably," Brooks said.
Brooks said fallen trees, combined with hot and dry conditions, have been a major factor in the outages.
"When you have sort of extended drought or high temperatures, it can affect trees that maybe are either weak or diseased," Brooks said.
He added that trees can damage power infrastructure even when they are not close to utility lines.
"We trim trees year-round to reduce outages on our system, of course, but these trees can be 70-80 feet tall, so they can be across the street, well away from our lines, and when they come down, they can still take down a line," Brooks said.
Brooks said Duke Energy has been making upgrades to the electric grid throughout the summer, including self-healing technology that helped some customers regain service within an hour.
RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- North Carolina election officials said Thursday they are proceeding with sending out absentee ballots Friday, while acknowledging the possibility the Board of Elections could take action related to those voters during its Friday meeting."You're going to have to stay tuned to see what the vote of the Board is tomorrow," said NCSBE Executive Director Sam Hayes.

RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- North Carolina election officials said Thursday they are proceeding with sending out absentee ballots Friday, while acknowledging the possibility the Board of Elections could take action related to those voters during its Friday meeting.
"You're going to have to stay tuned to see what the vote of the Board is tomorrow," said NCSBE Executive Director Sam Hayes. "Again, I don't want to preempt them. I would say that the focus of tomorrow's meeting is going to be guidance to the counties on how to handle these absentee ballots as they come in."
The guidance comes as election officials continue to monitor legal challenges surrounding absentee and mail-in voting.
At the federal level, President Donald Trump issued an executive order that places restrictions on the U.S. Postal Service's handling of absentee ballots. A federal judge has temporarily blocked the order while the court considers whether to extend that pause. Arguments in the case were scheduled to be heard Thursday.
"The Postal Service is asking the Supreme Court to stop North Carolina ballots from going out tomorrow. That would throw our election into chaos. The ballots are printed, the process is underway, and North Carolinians deserve a lawful and orderly election. We have won in the lower courts, and we will keep fighting to protect the integrity and orderly administration of North Carolina's election," NC Attorney General Jeff Jackson said.
"The State Board is monitoring developments within the court system. We believe that we are well positioned as our envelopes have already been approved by the Postal Service. The other part of this equation is the (USPS) portal, and it's my understanding that is not up. So it is business as usual as far as I'm concerned," said Hayes.
Gov. Josh Stein reacted to the announcement in a statement Thursday night.
"Tomorrow morning, the state will send voters their absentee ballots. The very same morning, the State Board of Elections will vote on memos that the public has not seen that could change how election administrators do their jobs," Stein said. "This State Board has had more than a year to plan for this year's election, and administering elections is its only job. Voters need transparency from Dave Boliek's Board of Elections so they can have faith in our election process."
Voting rights advocates and community organizers also raised concerns about the potential impact on voter participation.
"We know that this president is interested in disrupting the 2026 election," said Ann Webb, North Carolina Policy Strategist for Protect Democracy. "And we also know that the courts can protect our election system from executive overreach. We are hopeful and optimistic that this attempt to disrupt our elections will not succeed."
James Hardaway, a community organizer with Trusted Neighbors North Carolina, questioned whether changes to absentee voting are necessary.
"The data just doesn't really exist today to show that there is that much of a risk to the current absentee or mail-in voting process," Hardaway said. "There's concern that if there isn't really a problem, then what are we fixing?"
Hardaway also encouraged voters to seek election information from official sources.
"You have to be really careful about where you get your information," he said. "What I tell everybody is kind of go to the source, the best source locally, because that's where the information is. Your state board of elections. They've got a website where they're posting updates, the rules, the timelines. So always start there."
He further stressed the importance of instilling confidence in elections.
"This level of uncertainty does not make the traditional voter comfortable. They like to know that, when they get their ballot in the mail or when they vote and then send it back, that the right process is in place to ensure that gets counted. Uncertainty prior to an election, in this climate, is stressful for everybody," said Hardaway, who also serves as a poll worker in Wake County.
The ongoing discussions also follow action taken by the State Board of Elections on proposed rules governing absentee ballots. The board previously approved a proposal that would establish stricter requirements for absentee ballot envelopes, potentially resulting in ballots being rejected if they are placed in the wrong envelope or not sealed properly. The proposal was approved last month by the state Rules Review Commission, though it needs legislative approval.
"We believe substantive policy should go through the formal rulemaking process required by the Administrative Procedures Act and ultimately be adopted as rules by the State Board. There are existing numbered memos providing guidance on many topics. We're moving through the rulemaking process to get them out of numbered memo status and into formal rule, with a delayed effective date of some of those rules. Those numbered memos that would have been superseded by the rules now need to be reviewed and updated. I do not anticipate any changes having any impact on voters or on the processes counties are using as absentee voting begins tomorrow," said Hayes.
Election advocates urged voters who plan to cast absentee ballots to do so as early as possible.
"What's really important for voters to know is that requesting your absentee ballot as early as possible, starting now, and getting that ballot sent back or delivered back to the county as soon as possible, is your best way to ensure your vote will count," Webb said.
The State Board of Elections' meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m. Friday, as county election offices prepare for the first absentee ballots of the 2026 election cycle to be mailed to voters.
