NC VOTER REGISTRATION GUIDE
North Carolina Democratic Party’s Voter Hotline: 1-833-VOTE4NC (1-833-868-3462)
Already registered? Check here to make sure all your information is up to date. If your name doesn’t come up, or if your name comes up as listed at an old address, it’s time to register/update your registration.
Does your registration still need “repair?” The Board of Elections is requiring a small number of NC voters to “repair” their registrations by providing either their driver’s license number/DMV ID number OR the last four digits of their social security number. Check here to see if you’re on the “repair” list, and, if you are, how you can repair your registration to make sure your vote will be counted in the next election. Voters on the list who do not “repair” their registrations will need to cast provisional ballots.
