An Analysis of Registration Recovery Project Voters

by Christopher Cooper

The North Carolina State Board of Elections recently unveiled the Registration Recovery Project (RRP), which includes more than 100,000 North Carolina registered voters. As part of an ongoing project, I thought I'd take a look at the characteristics of these voters to learn more who is on the RRP list, who has their registration "cured" and the demographic and partisan patterns of both.

You can find the most recent iteration of this analysis in a pdf below. The first 5 pages (the analysis of the original lists) remains the same as the original report. The sections titled "Changes since the original list" and "who is curing their registration?" are updated once a week.
