North Carolina has removed over 700,000 individuals from its registered voter list, officials say.
The State Board of Elections announced Thursday that 747,000 people have been removed from voter rolls in the last 20 months due to ineligibility.
"The county boards follow careful policies to ensure that only ineligible records are removed, not those of eligible voters," the Board of Elections said in a press release.
"Meanwhile, newly eligible voters are constantly being added to the registration rolls in our growing state," the board added. "Currently, North Carolina has nearly 7.7 million registered voters."
