College students win battle to run for city council

(09/18/13 10:28am)

Montravias King, a senior at Elizabeth City State University, attempted this summer to run for his city council in Elizabeth City in Pasquotank County, North Carolina. On August 13, the county’s board of elections blocked his campaign, arguing that his residence in a university dormitory did not meet the residence requirements needed to run for office in the county. The case was then appealed to the North Carolina Board of Elections, where the county’s ruling was overturned and King was deemed eligible to run.
