NC State Board, DMV partner to expand online voter registration service
RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCT) The State Board of Elections and N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles has launched a service to allow NCDMV customers to apply to register to vote or update existing voter registration information online.
This is a standalone service that does not require the user to complete an NCDMV transaction, such as a license renewal or duplicate, at the same time.
The free service comes at a time when many county boards of elections have limited access or are closed to the public, and while residents are being asked to stay home because of the spread of COVID-19.
Existing NCDMV customers with a North Carolina driver’s license or NCDMV-issued ID may apply to register to vote or update voter address or political party information through the NCDMV Voter Registration web page.
The application currently does not allow voters to change their name.
All voter registration services are free.
Individuals using the online process will authorize the signature NCDMV has on file for them to be affixed to their voter registration application.
NCDMV’s vendor, PayIt, is hosting the service. A link to the voter registration service also is available through the State Board of Elections’ website here: https://www.ncsbe.gov/Voters/Registering-to-Vote.
County boards of elections will continue to confirm the eligibility of online registrants through standard procedures, including verification mailings.
