IN FULL
The North Carolina State Board of Elections has approved a settlement that permits approximately 73,000 voters who failed to submit sufficient identifying information additional time to correct incomplete registration records before any removal from the voter rolls. The agreement resolves a 2024 lawsuit filed by the Republican National Committee (RNC) and the North Carolina Republican Party, which claimed that roughly 250,000 registrations lacked required identification information, such as the last four digits of a Social Security number or driver’s license number.
