Time Warner Cable News North Carolina (TWC News North Carolina)today announced it will debut Decision 2016: Make Your Vote Count, a special on North Carolina’s voting process, on Friday, February 26th at 7:30 p.m. Anchor Tim Boyum and the network’s news team will provide viewers with a comprehensive overview of North Carolina’s political parties, breakdown the changes in the state’s voting laws, and offer a thorough look into voter resources.
The network’s informative half-hour special will examine the importance of voting and take viewers through the voting process – including registration – providing step by step details on what people need to know at the polls. The program will also delve into North Carolina’s new voter ID law, which will require North Carolina voters to show one of six “acceptable forms” of photo ID to cast their vote.
Decision 2016: Make Your Vote Count is produced in collaboration with the League of Women Voters of North Carolina, a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government. In late 2015, TWC News North Carolina and the League of Women Voters of North Carolina announced their joint effort on a series of nonpartisan political initiatives, including vignettes and public service announcements leading up to key political races in an effort to help inform North Carolinians about recent changes to the voting process.
After the debut of Decision 2016: Make Your Vote Count, the network will re-air the program on Saturday, February 27th at 12:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., and on Sunday, February 28th, 11:00 a.m. The special will also be shown statewide leading up to North Carolina’s Presidential preference primary and other statewide primary elections on March 15, 2016.
