Registration Repairs Needed for 70,000 NC Voters Ahead of 2026 Election
As we near the end of 2025, State Board of Election data says that there are still over 70,000 potential voters who need to repair their registrations. That includes approximately:
- 700 in Orange County
- 3600 in Durham County
- 650 in Chatham County
While some of these voters may have moved, many of them are eligible to vote in the 2026 statewide primary and election. Please check your registration at Vote411.org and encourage others to do so. Anyone whose name is on the registration repair list should follow the instructions How do I Repair My Registration? on this page to provide their NC driver’s license/DMV ID number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. A repaired registration will ensure they can vote a regular ballot rather than a provisional ballot.
Durham County Precinct Change
