NC Board of Elections will no longer provide forms to voter registration drives
Groups conducting voter registration drives will have to print their own registration forms, the North Carolina State Board of Elections decided last week, ending its years-long practice of providing such forms themselves.
The board will no longer provide the printed applications to voter registration organizations because of “significant and ongoing costs,” State Board spokesman Patrick Gannon wrote in an emailed statement. After the current printed supply is depleted, he said, the board will cease to provide them.
In 2024, the State Board of Elections provided nearly 1.3 million voter registration applications to voter drive organizations and government agencies, costing the state more than $269,000 in printing costs, Gannon said.
“The physical forms were never intended to be in endless supply,” spokesman Patrick Gannon told NC Newsline in a statement. “The agency will exhaust its current supply by sending them to organizations that have already ordered them.”
