Bill > H127

This bill requires the North Carolina State Board of Elections to develop a specific sample voter registration form exclusively for organized voter registration drives, which must be visually distinct from the official voter registration application form. The sample form will include informational guidance about voter registration, such as where to obtain official forms, how to register online, important election dates, and return locations, but will not allow individuals to fill in personal information. Organizations conducting voter registration drives must now register with their county board of elections, providing details like the organization's name, structure, number of forms requested, whether participants are paid or volunteers, drive duration, and operational location. The bill prohibits using official voter registration application forms for drives and establishes that violations constitute a Class 2 misdemeanor. The purpose appears to be creating a standardized, informative tool for voter registration drives while ensuring clear separation from official registration documents and providing county election boards more oversight of such drives.
