We are sending you this letter to ask for your help as we work to improve the accuracy of our voter records. Receiving this request does not affect your ability to vote, how you vote, or whether your vote counts.

Receiving this letter does not mean that there is a problem with your record. It does, however, mean that we were unable to match information in your voter record with a record in either the North Carolina DMV database or the Social Security Administration (SSA) database.1

A few situations could prevent us from matching your record. Here are a few examples:

Data Entry Error: Date of birth, driver license number, or social security number errors could result from mistakes like mixing up digits or entering data into incorrect fields.

Form Changes: Prior to 2004, applicants weren’t required to provide their driver license number or the last 4 digits of their social security number when registering to vote. Voters who registered before then don’t have these numbers attached to their voter records—so we wouldn’t be able to match their records with the NCDMV or SSA database records.

Name Variation: A name may be different across records due to spelling, hyphenation, or spaces and apostrophes, or if a prior legal name or maiden name is used in a record. Your name at the top of this letter reflects what we have in our records.

Please fill out the information section on the back of this form and submit it to your county board of elections office to update your voter registration record.

There are three ways you can provide us the requested information:

• BY MAIL: Complete the information section of this form. In the enclosed pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope, mail this letter to the State Board of Elections.

• IN PERSON: Take this letter to your county board of elections office to submit your form in person or to discuss options with your elections officials.

• ONLINE: Go to payments.ncdot.gov to access the North Carolina DMV’s secure website (You won’t be charged a fee for this action). Click “Yes” when asked if you would like to update your voter information. Note: You must possess either a valid NC driver license or NCDMV ID to use this option.

1 Both federal and state law require a person registering provide their driver license number, or—if they do not have a driver license—the last 4 digits of their social security number along with their first and last name and date of birth. An applicant with neither number must note that they do not have these numbers. The county board of elections then verifies that this information matches a record in the databases.

FRAUDULENTLY OR FALSELY COMPLETING THIS FORM IS A CLASS I FELONY UNDER CHAPTER 163 OF THE NC GENERAL STATUTES.
