North Carolina’s constitution requires that voters be residents of the state. But a state statute currently in place violates this requirement, opening the door for individuals who have never resided in the state to vote, a newly filed lawsuit alleges.
Congress established the Uniformed and Overseas Citizen Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) in 1986, permitting military service members and select other overseas citizens to register and vote in federal elections. North Carolina also has its own Uniform Military and Overseas Act (UMOVA).
