It's important to remember that the results, as they update, do not reflect the final outcome. Because of how elections are administered and votes are counted, full results may not be available on Election Night and may not paint a clear picture until a day or more later.

It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal and state elections. 

The 14th Amendment requires people to be born or naturalized in the United States to vote. The current North Carolina Constitution states every person born in the United States and every person who has been naturalized and is 18 years of age as long as they meet the qualifications can vote.

According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, a “naturalized” citizen is someone who moved here and became a citizen. If approved, the amendment would take out the word naturalized.

But those who are naturalized are already citizens, so they would still be able to vote. However, there are concerns from some groups that it could cause confusion as it removes the naturalization language.
