This is part of ongoing efforts by the State Board to maintain accurate and current voter rolls. . . . Importantly, this new effort in no way will affect any voter’s registration status. During elections, affected voters will be asked if they want to update their information at their voting site. They will still vote regular ballots even if they do not update their information, unless there is another reason they must vote a provisional ballot.—From NCSBE media release regarding this effort, February 5, 2026.
