Moore County Board Warns Against Unnecessary Voter Registration Forms

The Moore County Board of Elections advises that an organization is asking residents to complete a "new" voter registration form, but this is unnecessary for those already registered. The organization is not affiliated with the county's Board of Elections. To verify voter registration status or register, visit the North Carolina State Board of Elections website or contact the Moore County Board of Elections.
