H1231

No Voter Registration Changes At DMV

Introduced·5/11/26

North Carolina H1231 prohibits updating voter registration at DMV offices or online, requiring changes to be made at county boards of elections.

North Carolina H1231 eliminates the ability to update existing voter registration on the Division of Motor Vehicles' (DMV) website or at DMV physical locations. Instead, it mandates that changes to voter registration, such as address changes, precinct moves, county changes, name changes, or party affiliation changes, must be made at the appropriate county boards of elections. The bill specifies that voter registration applications completed at DMV offices must be forwarded to the appropriate board of elections within five business days.
