New York City’s Board of Elections released its final tally of the primary voting results on Tuesday.

Last month, the DOJ filed a lawsuit against the North Carolina Board of Elections, accusing it of failing to maintain accurate voter lists in compliance with the 2004 Help America Vote Act, which requires all eligible voters to provide the last four digits of their Social Security numbers or their license numbers in order to register to vote.

Meanwhile, the state Board of Elections also acknowledged that there could be North Carolinians with incomplete registrations in the voter rolls, but election integrity safeguards ensured only eligible voters participated in elections.

Still, early last week, the North Carolina Board of Elections approved a three-part plan to rectify any incomplete voter registrations with a tentative agreement that the DOJ will drop the suit if the board carries out its plan.

“I’ve said from day one that I am committed to bringing North Carolina into compliance with the law. I believe this three-part plan is the best way to ensure this happens,” Sam Hayes, executive director of the State Board of Elections, said in a statement.
