Eligible voters may register to vote during early voting in person at a polling place in their county. Same-day registration is not available for most voters on Election Day.
Find out if you are registered to vote by entering your information into the North Carolina State Board of Elections’ Voter Search tool.
Do I need an ID to vote in North Carolina?
In North Carolina, voters will be asked for photo identification to vote at the polls and for voting by mail. There are many acceptable types of photo ids, and the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles is offering “no fee” ID cards.
See current lists of acceptable IDs on the North Carolina Board of Elections website. If unsure, voters should confirm the eligibility of their ID with the North Carolina State Board of Elections.
During the early voting period, voters may cast a ballot at any early voting site in their county. This is different than Election Day, when registered voters must vote at their assigned polling place.
Any North Carolina registered voter may request, receive, and vote a mail-in absentee ballot. Registered voters in North Carolina must request an absentee ballot with an official NC Absentee Ballot Request Form. There are two ways to access and submit the form: online and on paper.
