N.C.P.I.—Crim. 285.40
COMPENSATION BASED ON REQUESTS FOR ABSENTEE BALLOTS. FELONY.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the State must
prove two things beyond a reasonable doubt.
First, that the defendant [gave] [accepted] compensation.
And Second, that the compensation was based on the number of
returned written requests1 for absentee ballots.
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date, the defendant [gave] [accepted] compensation,
and that the compensation was based on the number of returned written
requests for absentee ballots, it would be your duty to return a verdict of
guilty. If you do not so find or if you have a reasonable doubt as to one
or both of these things, then you would return a verdict of not guilty.
