Last night, the Republican-controlled North Carolina Legislature overrode Gov. Roy Cooper’s (D) veto of S.B. 747, a voter suppression bill that will restrict vote-by-mail and ultimately disenfranchise thousands of North Carolina voters.
That's why today we've filed a lawsuit for immediate relief to stop S.B. 747’s new “Undeliverable Mail Provision,” from taking effect in North Carolina.
S.B. 747 is an unconstitutional voter suppression bill that puts same-day registrants at risk of disenfranchisement if a single piece of official mail is returned to county boards of elections as undeliverable — without any notice to the voter or opportunity to be heard.

“S.B. 747’s undeliverable mail provision disenfranchises North Carolina voters and is part of a broad, coordinated attack on our democracy. We’re proud to join this lawsuit to fight against a provision that exists solely to make it harder for North Carolinians to cast their vote.”
