REGISTER TO VOTE

Registration Repair

You may need to update your voter registration!

The NC State Board of Elections is asking a small number of voters to “repair” their voter registrations 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. Click the button to search the Registration Repair list.
