Voter Registration Warning 7/1/26
Bulk Voter Registration Mailings Cause Voter Confusion, Additional Work for Counties
From the North Carolina State Board of Elections, 7/1/2026:
The State Board of Elections has received complaints from county boards of elections and citizens about a recent mailing from a group attempting to register voters in North Carolina.
The group, Ready to Register Inc., sent mailings to an unknown number of citizens with an outdated voter registration application which includes four political parties that are no longer recognized in North Carolina. In 2026, North Carolina’s recognized political parties are the Democratic, Green, Libertarian, and Republican parties. Voters can also register as unaffiliated. Voters who register with a party that is no longer recognized will be registered as unaffiliated.
The State Board has also received reports that mailings are being sent to deceased individuals and that the group may be using outdated voter data.
