Gov. Beverly Perdue signed another seven bills Friday, including four that make changes to the state's election process or administration.

HB 1111: Clarifies when a candidate becomes covered by the state's campaign finance laws and places some limitations on the types of donations a candidate can receive for a legal expense fund. So that probably won't be relevant to anyone in state government any time soon.

HB 908: Allows teenagers to register to vote early. Their voter registration becomes active automatically when they turn 18.

HB 907: Tweaks the law regarding publicly funded campaigns. The law limits emergency money that is meant to help a candidate respond to another campaign in that emergency money won't be paid in response to a campaign ad that mentions all candidates. That change would have prevented a case where the state had to provide judicial candidates money when they were both mentioned favorably in a Democratic mailer.

SB 253: Makes it easier for military personnel to vote absentee.
