All individuals who regestered by mail on or after January 1, 2003 that did not provide a verifiable form of identification will be required to show identification before voting.

The state HAVA compliance act adds new G.S. 163-166-12, aplicable only to individuals who have registered to vote by mail on or after January 1, 2003, and who have not previously voted in North Carolina in an election that includes a race for federal office.
