View 3 proposed Constitutional Amendments for voting in Nov.

Three amendments will appear on North Carolina’s November 2026 ballot, potentially affecting taxpayers and elections.

North Carolina elections would require photo IDs for all voters.

Taxes would decrease for everyone, lowering the top state income tax to 3.5% from 7% starting Jan. 1, 2027.

Local governments would face property tax increase caps under a levy limit.

Each amendment has pros and cons. Proponents see the photo ID amendment as a boost to election security; opponents worry about voter access. The proposed 3.5% income tax cap offers potential financial benefits but raises concerns about funding for public services. While the property tax levy amendment might protect owners from steep increases, opponents believe it could challenge local governments’ ability to fund public needs.
