Attention Voters

Registration Repair

You may need to update your voter registration! The NC State Board of Elections is asking some voters to “repair” their voter registration by providing their NC driver’s license number, NC DMV ID number, or the last four digits of their Social Security number. Repairing your registration will ensure that you can vote a regular ballot rather than a provisional ballot in upcoming elections.
