AI Summary

  • Eliminates same-day voter registration by removing the exception in G.S. 163-82.6A, requiring all registration applications to meet the 25-day deadline before elections.

  • Makes provisional ballots "retrievable" so they can be removed from vote totals if later determined to be ineligible, and allows voters who move within a county to vote without provisional ballots at one-stop sites.

  • Requires physical residential addresses (not vacant lots or business addresses) for voter registration and enhances voter list maintenance through deceased voter notification forms and data sharing between the Division of Motor Vehicles and State Board of Elections.

  • Prohibits compensating individuals for voter registration assistance unless they are conducting registration for governmental agencies as required by law.

  • Specifies election observer rights to be present throughout polling places, move about freely, observe voter registration checking, and challenge expulsion with penalties for judges who remove observers without cause.

  • Allows boards of elections to provide general election ballots within three days of presidential nominee nomination if that occurs after the standard 57-day deadline, ensuring military and overseas voters receive ballots in time.
