RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — North Carolina election officials on Thursday launched an online database of voter registration records for 103,000 people being asked to add their driver’s license numbers or partial Social Security numbers to the state’s records, a move critics worry could disenfranchise some voters.

The Kids Are Alright
Henderson, Nevada’s “Kids Vote” program engages thousands
Building on the purpose statement “Connecting Our Community with Local Government” – the Henderson, Nevada city clerk’s office created several initiatives around community outreach, particularly voter outreach, in its most recent strategic plan.
One of these outreach initiatives was to involve children in voting in meaningful ways, through education and engagement activities. Henderson Kids Vote 2024 was the first of these initiatives.
In addition to putting resources on the city’s elections website geared toward children, staff brainstormed ways to involve children in a manner that closely mimicked the voting process that they see their parents participating in, but on a level that they can understand and be excited about.
It was decided that staff would build out a voting booth and voting machine but with ice cream flavors as the candidates. The candidates would start with a larger pool that would be narrowed through the primary elections, leading up to the final winner at the general election.
