New leadership at the North Carolina State Board of Elections recently launched the Registration Repair Project, to collect missing identifying information for registered voters.

Per NCSBE’s press release, the original number of registered voters on the repair list is already down from 103,270 to 82,540 since the program launched a month ago.

The press release goes on to say, “In future elections, in-person voters who still have not provided the required information to update their registration must vote provisional ballots and provide the information when they vote. That process is easy — the application for voting a provisional ballot includes prompts for DL# or SSN4.” 

North Carolina needs improved transparency in the voting process and election security, and the Registration Repair Project is taking significant strides to improve election integrity and voter confidence.

NCSBE Executive Director Sam Hayes said, “It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s free… We strongly encourage all voters on the Registration Repair list to take action now and avoid any issues the next time they show up to vote.”
