Need to Repair Your Registration?

A small number of voters are being asked by the N.C. State Board of Elections (NCSBE) to repair their registrations by providing their N.C. driver’s license/DMV ID number OR the last four digits of their Social Security number. They have launched a new search tool to find out if you are on the list and need to take action.

Repairing your registration will ensure that you can vote a regular ballot rather than a provisional ballot during upcoming elections. Click below to access the search tool and learn more from the NCSBE.
