🚨Attention - Letters have been sent out (Around 1800 in Wilkes County)to certain voters as the NCSBE and counties work to improve the accuracy of our voter records required by Numbered Memo 2025-03. Receiving this request does not affect anyone’s ability to vote, how they vote, or whether their vote counts.
Receiving this letter does not mean that there is a problem with a voters registration, It does, however, mean that we were unable to match information in a voters record with a record in either the North Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV) database or the Social Security Administration (SSA) database.'
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 were not 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 do not have these numbers attached to their voter records, which means we would not 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. The name at the top of this letter reflects what we have in our records.
