State Pulls 747,000 People off of Voter Registration Rolls

The North Carolina State Board of Elections has removed over 747,000 people from its list of registered voters with less than six weeks until Election Day.

The records were purged from the state’s voter registration rolls over the past 20 months, according to an NCSBE press release published Thursday.

“The county boards follow careful policies to ensure that only ineligible records are removed, not those of eligible voters,” the release reads.

Three of the top reasons for removal were that the voter was determined to have been deceased, had duplicate registrations due to moving within the state, or had garnered an “inactive status” from election officials after failing to participate in two federal elections.
