Modifies and adds to the defined terms set forth in GS 163-165 applicable to voting laws in Article 14A. Adds cast vote record and defines it as a de-identified electronic record of each voter's ballot selections, electronically retained on a ballot tabulation machine that can be used to count election results for each ballot entry on that machine. Revises the term voting enclosure to now mean the area within the voting location used to complete the voting process (was the room within the voting place that is used for voting) and explicitly includes any vehicle compartment containing one or more voters parked in the designated curbside voting area. 

Amends GS 163-165.1 regarding confidentiality of voted ballots and their associated paper or electronic records to expand access to the documents by response to a public records request for all cast vote records (CVRs) or voted ballots captured in a tabulation or voting machine, precinct, ward, district, city, or county. Eliminates current law which bars disclosure of particular voters' voting to members of the public unless a court orders otherwise. Instead, now bars voted ballots and their paper or electronic records, including CVRs, from disclosing the identity of the voter, and adds a new requirement for elections officials to redact any identifying information before releasing the documents to the public. Makes organizational changes and adds captions. 

Amends GS 163-165.7, which requires the State Board of Elections (State Board) to certify voting systems, to mandate that certification requirements include that the voting system supports the casting of a ballot that records each vote precisely indicated by the voter, subject to local election laws, and creates a de-identified CVR that can be tabulated, audited, and publicly disclosed. 

Amends GS 163-165.9, concerning local boards of elections duties when acquiring voting systems. Now requires notification of the State Board of a county board's intent to replace any voting system or a portion thereof (replacing the prohibition against replacing any voting system or portion thereof without State Board approval). Adds a new requirement for county boards to ensure all tabulators or other electronic voting systems to create and retain CVRs for the duration specified for election-related records. 

Applies to voting systems used in elections on or after the date the act becomes law.
