Are you one of the thousands of NC voters who need to 'fix' your registration? Here's how to do it.
More than 70,000 North Carolinians remain on a list of voters whose registration is incomplete, according to the state Board of Elections. Voters who don’t update their registration before going to the polls this year could be forced to cast a provisional ballot, triggering a review of whether their vote should count.
The issue stems from a voter registration form North Carolina had been using for decades, which did not make it clear that new voters had to provide either a driver’s license number or the last four digits of their social security number. The Trump administration sued the state over the problem in 2025.
The state board started reaching out to voters with faulty registration in August with instructions about how to update their records, an effort they called the Registration Repair Project.
Meanwhile, there are 241,000 other voters who have what the board calls “unvalidated identification numbers” on their registration. These are voters whose registrations do have ID numbers, but they “did not validate against other government databases,” according to the board. These voters are not part of the Registration Repair Project, but they were sent letters last week asking them to update their information. These voters will not have to cast a provisional ballot at the polls.
