Last week, the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) agreed to a partnership with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. This agreement will allow North Carolina’s voter registration records to be checked against citizenship information in the USCIS’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database.
The aim of this measure is to ensure that only U.S. citizens are included on state voter rolls, in line with legal requirements and a 2024 constitutional amendment approved in North Carolina.
“Safe, secure elections are the cornerstones of our republic. This common sense move will help ensure the integrity of our voter rolls and public confidence in the electoral process. We applaud this decision from the State Board of Elections,” said NCGOP Chairman Jason Simmons.
