North Carolina S14 proposes a constitutional amendment to repeal the literacy test requirement for voter registration.

North Carolina S14 seeks to amend the state constitution by repealing the literacy test requirement for voter registration. This bill, if passed, would remove the need for individuals to demonstrate their ability to read and write any section of the Constitution in English as a condition for registering to vote. The amendment would be put to a vote in the 2026 statewide general election, with the State Board of Elections certifying the results. If approved by a majority of voters, the Secretary of State would enroll the amendment among the permanent records of that office.
