§ 163‑90.2.  Action when challenge sustained, overruled, or dismissed.

(a)       When any challenge is sustained for any cause listed under G.S. 163‑85(c), the board shall cancel the voter registration of the voter and shall remove his card from the book, but shall maintain such record for at least six months and during the pendency of any appeal.

(b)       When any challenge heard under G.S. 163‑88 or 163‑89 is sustained on the ground that the voter is not affiliated with the political party shown on his registration record, the board shall change the voter's party affiliation to "unaffiliated."

(c)       When any challenge made under G.S. 163‑85 is overruled or dismissed, the board shall erase the word "challenged" which appears on the person's registration records.

(d)       A decision by a county board of elections on any challenge made under the provisions of this Article shall be appealable to the Superior Court of the county in which the offices of that board are located within 10 days. Only those persons against whom a challenge is sustained or persons who have made a challenge which is overruled shall have standing to file such appeal. (1979, c. 357, s. 4; 1987 (Reg. Sess., 1988), c. 1028, s. 11.)
