All you have to do to stay an active voter is to check in with the Board of Elections once every 4 years, either by voting, or responding to mail, or by re-registering. How many people are suddenly desperate to vote after avoiding it for 4 years? |

After 4 years they can reactivate on election Day or earlier. After 8 years they have to re-register before the weekend before election day. https://www.ncsbe.gov/registering/faq-voter-registration#IfIdontvotewillmyvoterrecordbepurgedfromthevoterregistrationrolls-1779 |

News Observer wrote an article just for y'all ignorant hysterical out of staters. https://www.newsobserver.com/news/politics-government/election/article293130869.html Misinformation spreads after 750k names removed from NC voter rolls. Here are the facts. Did the state remove 750,000 voters all at once? No. In actuality, the removal of these registrations was a part of routine list maintenance conducted over the course of 20 months. It’s also important to note that the board removed nearly 750,000 registrations, not necessarily 750,000 individual voters. In fact, the most common reason why registrations were removed was because a voter moved within the state, creating a duplicate registration at their new address. The board’s removal likely only affected the now-defunct registration at the voter’s old address. Was this a ploy by the Republican Party? No. The removal of these voter registrations was a part of routine list maintenance conducted by staff of the State Board of Elections, a board made up of appointees from both parties. Democrats have a majority on the board. The North Carolina Republican Party did sue the board last month, attempting to remove 225,000 voter registrations that it claims were improperly approved. However, that lawsuit has not even gotten a hearing yet, and the removals announced Thursday had begun long before the lawsuit was filed. Furthermore, federal law prevents the board from systematically removing registrants within 90 days of an election. That deadline passed on Aug. 7. What were the reasons voter registrations were removed? As mentioned above, the largest pool of registrations (nearly 300,000) were removed because a voter moved within the state. Other registrations were removed because the voter was inactive for two federal elections, died, moved out of the state, was convicted of a felony, or requested that they be removed from the rolls. The State Board of Elections created a breakdown of the different reasons for removal. Data provided by the North Carolina State Board of Elections on Sept. 26, 2024, shows the reasons voter registrations were removed from the rolls as part of routine list maintenance.

North Carolina State Board of Elections If I didn’t vote in the last two federal elections, is my registration canceled now? Not necessarily. The second most common reason a voter’s registration was removed from the rolls was because they underwent two federal elections while in inactive status. However, to achieve inactive status, a voter must have already skipped two consecutive federal elections. It is not until they fail to vote in two more federal elections that they are removed from the voter rolls. “That means missing all elections for eight years,” Gerry Cohen, a member of the Wake County Board of Elections, said on X. The voter would also have had to not respond to any mailings from the elections board attempting to confirm their registration. How do I check if I’m still registered to vote? Anyone can check the status of their voter registration using the online voter search tool on the State Board of Elections’ website. Is it too late to register to vote? No. The deadline to register to vote in the 2024 elections is Oct. 11. Voters who miss this deadline can also participate in same-day registration during early voting, which runs from Oct. 17 to Nov. 2.
