Wake, Guilford and Mecklenburg counties maintained their own registration databases until sometime in 2005 when they were converted to a different format and transmitted to NCSBE for inclusion in the state registration SEIMS database. /2 #ncpol

On May 20, 2004, I helped my younger son register to vote on a paper form where I am ABSOLUTELY sure we filled in his full NCDL and last 4 SSN, I hand delivered the form to Wake Co Board of Elections the next day, and he voted by mail Nov 2004, but then ... /3 #ncpol

but then my son and I went together to vote Oct 5, 2004 at Wake Precinct 07-07 (Raleigh city election) where he was told he could not vote without presenting additional ID as his registration was flagged for failing to submit NCDL/SSN on his registration.

So was the DMV file missing the NCDL number or was it provided, but not entered into the voter database assuming it's a manual entry process?

... but NCDMV transmits the voter registration data electronically to counties, there is actually NO paper form the voter ever filled out to have failed to provide their NCDL number on ! Voter signs a touchpad at NCDMV. 7 #ncpol
