Middle District of North Carolina (No. 1:23-cv-861)
Issue(s):
Lawsuit challenging North Carolina Senate Bill 747. The bill requires election officials to send address verification notices to same-day voters via the mail. If the mail is returned as undeliverable, election officials are prohibited from registering the same-day voter and are to exclude their ballot from the official vote count. The voter is not notified of the cancellation of their ballot. The plaintiffs allege that the provision violates the Due Process Clause and places an undue burden on the right to vote under the 1st and 14th amendment.
