The Republican National Committee and North Carolina Republican Party Worked Together To Strengthen Election Integrity For the March Primary
The Republican National Committee and the North Carolina Republican Party announced that they partnered together to ensure strengthen election day security. Party officials monitor polling locations, assisted voters, and responded promptly to reported issues.
“Secure elections are the foundation of our democracy,” said RNC Chairman Joe Gruters. “The RNC worked closely with the North Carolina Republican Party to ensure county election officials followed the law as they held these elections. The RNC is committed to working with state and local partners to secure our elections.”
This coordination laid the groundwork for the NCGOP to assist voters directly and support the security of their state’s primary election.
“The NCGOP’s Election Day Operations team fielded calls and questions from across the state to help voters make their voices heard,” said North Carolina Republican Party Chairman Jason Simmons. “We are proud to continue our strong partnership with the RNC to safeguard the integrity of every ballot in 2026.”
Across the state, RNC staff worked with the NCGOP to gather incident reports for mitigation efforts with county boards of elections and partnered in recruiting poll workers. The RNC is proud to support the NCGOP by providing a system for their observers to uphold state law and commends the part officials who worked to maintain a transparent and secure election process.
Background on RNC Election Integrity Efforts in North Carolina:
Last month, the RNC secured a major win in North Carolina to enforce commonsense voter ID requirements.
During the 2024 Election, the RNC successfully challenged the North Carolina State Board of Elections’ policy that allowed the counting of ballots arriving in unsealed containers and successfully ensured access to the polls for people affected by Hurricane Helene.
The RNC also won a lawsuit in North Carolina, in which the North Carolina Court of Appeals and North Carolina Supreme Court held that allowing non-residents to vote in North Carolina’s elections violated the North Carolina Constitution's residency requirement.
