Prodded by lawsuits, North Carolina seeks to tighten voter ID records for roughly 200,000 people
NORTH CAROLINA, JUL 17 – The Registration Repair Project targets 103,000 voters missing required ID info to comply with federal and state laws while ensuring no eligible voter is removed, officials said.
- On Thursday, Sam Hayes launched an online database of North Carolina voter records with missing ID information, aiming to improve election integrity.
- Following public outcry last year, President Donald Trump's Justice Department sued the state board in May, sparking legal disputes over voter ID record reforms.
- By early August, the North Carolina State Board of Elections will send letters to 103,270 voters lacking required ID information, as part of planned outreach.
- Noncompliant voters will vote provisionally, with records flagged for poll workers, potentially affecting ballot validity in some races.
- Next month, registrants must respond to letters and submit missing ID information via postage-paid envelopes or online, as municipal elections in North Carolina begin in September.
