The North Carolina Republican Party announced on Apr. 17 its support for the North Carolina State Board of Elections’ decision to verify the citizenship status of all registered voters in the state using federal databases, with the goal of identifying and removing any non-U.S. citizens from voter rolls.
This development is important because it addresses concerns about election integrity and aims to ensure that only eligible citizens participate in voting. The NCSBE has approved a rules process that must be followed before any voter is removed from the rolls.
“Today’s action will strengthen the accuracy of voter rolls and we applaud the State Board’s decision to improve confidence in the elections process,” said NCGOP Chairman Jason Simmons.
The North Carolina Republican Party emphasizes individual dignity, freedom, and responsibility while advocating for equal rights, free enterprise, and limited government, according to the official website. The party operates within North Carolina as a political entity focused on state-level advocacy according to its official website. Its headquarters are located at 1506 Hillsborough Street in Raleigh according to information published by its official website.
Looking ahead, party officials say they will continue supporting measures that promote accurate voter records and reinforce public trust in elections.
