The state Board of Elections is investigating 30 complaints related to voter registration drives. Complainants say people are posing as government workers, going door to door and urging residents to register to vote.
Complaints about suspicious voter registration solicitations come with each election cycle, said Jason Tyson, a spokesman for the board.
Reports in recent months have come from Brunswick, Buncombe, Chowan, Haywood, Nash, Scotland and Wake counties, according to a news release.
Government officials do not conduct door-to-door registration drives.
Complainants have also said that they are being given inaccurate information about a need to re-register.
Additionally, county boards of election have received registration applications with inaccurate or missing voter information, or clearly fictitious names, Tyson said.
Tyson said in an interview Monday the complaints this year are not tied to any political party.
The board has received about 300 complaints in the last year and 3,000 complaints over the last two years from 30 counties, he said.
In the last two years, the board has referred about 25 people for prosecution related to violations of the state’s voter registration laws, Tyson said.
North Carolina has same-day voter registration, which allows people to register and vote on the same day during the early voting period.
Early voting for the March 3 primary is ongoing and ends Saturday, Feb. 28.
Registration at the polls is not allowed on primary day.
