Between April 2000 and May 10, 2008, the overall number of registered voters in North Carolina increased from 4.93 million to 5.81 million, an increase just shy of 18 percent (17.9 percent). This net increase is the result of new registration and the purging of no longer valid registrations from the voter rolls. In 2000, Democrats made up 51 percent of registration statewide, Republicans made up 34 percent, and Unaffiliated and Libertarian voters together comprised 15 percent. By May 2008, those figures had changed to 45 percent Democrat, 33 percent Republican, and 21 percent Unaffiliated. (More)
