    Verification of Voter Registration Information -

    The voter registration system attempts to match driver's license numbers with the motor vehicle database. If the last four digits of the voter's social security number (SSN4) are provided, the number is checked against the Social Security Administration (SSA) database through the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA). If no match is found, the voter will be notified. If the information remains unverified, the applicant must show identification before voting.

    Address Confirmation Procedures -

    County boards of elections attempt to verify the address of initial voter registration applicants by sending a notice to the applicant by non-forwardable mail, at the address provided on the application form. The county will register the applicant if the Postal Service does not return the notice as undeliverable to the county board. If the first notice is returned as undeliverable, then the county board will send a second notice by non-forwardable mail to the same address to which the first notice was sent. If the second notice is not returned as undeliverable, then the county board will register the applicant. (See NCGS § 163-82.7)

    Each county board of elections conducts a program to remove from the registration list voters who have moved out of the county, and update registration records of persons who have moved within the county. (163-82.14)

    After every congressional election, each board of elections sends a confirmation mailing to every voter if the board has not confirmed the voter's address by another means. (163-82.14)

    If a voter fails to respond to a confirmation mailing, and does not vote in an election from the date of the notice through the next two general federal elections, the voter will be removed from the voter registration list. (16382.14)

    Removal of Names -

    A voter will be removed from the registration list if the voter:

      •  dies;

      •  is convicted of a felony;

      •  confirms in writing a change of address outside of the county;

      •  fails to respond to a confirmation notice and does not vote or update the voter's registration through two general elections. (163-82.14)

    Obtaining the Names of Voters who are Deceased or Convicted of a Crime -

    Each month the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services provides the State Board of Elections with the names of deceased persons who were residents of the state, and the Board distributes the appropriate information to each county board of elections. (163-82.14)

    Each month the State Board of Elections provides the county board of elections with the names of persons from that county who have been convicted of a felony. (163-82.14)

    Upon receipt of a notice of felony conviction from the US Attorney, the Executive Director of the State Board of Elections will notify the appropriate county.
