About the Report
Voters in North Carolina must navigate complex, ever-changing rules and processes when they turn out to cast a ballot each election cycle. To help guide voters through this experience, Democracy North Carolina, Southern Coalition for Social Justice, and a broad coalition of North Carolina partners run the North Carolina Election Protection Hotline (888-OUR-VOTE). The Hotline’s primary function is to serve as a trusted, non-partisan source of accurate information for North Carolina voters statewide, providing real-time assistance navigating the voting process and helping ensure all eligible ballots are cast and counted.
In the period leading up to the 2024 General Election, the Hotline fielded 6,460 calls from voters across the state.This report presents the real-life experiences of Hotline callers alongside supplemental statewide voting data and research, casting light on the obstacles voters face and opportunities to improve the election system for all North Carolinians.
