North Carolina State Board to send letters to 82,000 voters

RALEIGH, NC (WWAY) — The first wave of mailings is now going out to North Carolina voters who need to provide their driver’s license number or the last four digits of their social security number as part of the “Registration Repair Project.”

The State Board of Elections is sending letters to about 82,700 individuals whose voter registration records lack one of these numbers, as required by state and federal laws.

List of voters who will receive the first mailing.

The mailings encourage recipients to provide their identification numbers in one of the following ways:

By mail: Fill out the form at the bottom of the letter, sign it, and mail it to the State Board of Elections in the enclosed pre-addressed return envelope. Postage is provided on the envelope.

Online: If you have an NC driver’s license or DMV ID card, you can submit an updated voter registration form through the NCDMV’s secure website. Go to payments.ncdot.gov. There is no fee for this service. Click “Yes” when asked to update your voter information.

In person: Visit your county board of elections office and provide the required information. You cannot update your registration by phone.

“It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s free,” said Sam Hayes, State Board executive director. “We strongly encourage all voters on the Registration Repair list to take action now and avoid any issues the next time they show up to vote.”
