These charts are generated from data about current voters and their history within North Carolina only. This has implications for how these charts and graphs should be interpreted. Some important caveats:

• Historical information provides insight into the history of current active voters not the history of elections. Some of the voters who participated in previous elections will have died, moved away or become inactive, so their activity is not included in the historical information here. When you consider this data, remember you are looking at the historical activity of current voters.
• Historical data is only of North Carolina activity. The data reflect only voting activity within North Carolina. The history of current voters while they may have lived elsewhere will not be reflected here.
• Correctly understand history by age. Age groupings in historical charts show the historical activity of currently registered voters by their current age, not by their age at the time of the election.
  Incorrect: 20,000 voters who were between the ages of 36 and 44 at the time voted in the general election of 2016.
  Correct: 20,000 voters who are currently between the ages of 36 and 44 voted in the general election of 2016.
