Thales

State picked Thales to replace MVC’s license-system vendor on lowest price in May. The governor’s voter-roll statements still don’t name it.

A June 11, 2026 Treasury decision names Thales DIS USA as the State’s pick to replace IDEMIA’s MVC driver-license system, chosen on “the lowest overall pricing.” The bid was issued in January 2025, before Gov. Sherrill took office. Her July 21, July 28 and Oct. 7 statements on the voter-registration errors don’t name Thales. The new bid says MVC and the Division of Elections “will provide all verbiage and workflows for the signature pad logic.”
