The report "North Carolina's Missing Voters" reveals that 1.5 million eligible voters in North Carolina do not participate in elections, highlighting significant barriers that disproportionately impact young, Black, and Latino populations. Released by the Southern Coalition for Social Justice and Dēmos, the findings emphasize the state's rapid decline in voting access over recent years, worsened by laws limiting voter registration and imposing strict ID requirements. This context underscores a broader trend of disenfranchisement linked to racial discrimination, particularly following the weakening of the Voting Rights Act's protections.
The real election integrity issue in our state is that North Carolina makes it too difficult for some people to exercise their fundamental right to vote.
Barriers to the ballot disproportionately silence and harm communities of color, limiting access and suppressing voting power.
