Voter registration deadline nears
Municipal elections will soon take place across North Carolina, so now is a great time to check your voter registration status and register if necessary by Oct. 10.
Voters have many options for registration — in-person at your county’s board of elections office or the local DMV, alongside online registration with a valid North Carolina driver license.
Registration by mail is also available but will take more time and may not meet the registration deadline, so check ahead.
Registering at the polls is available during the early voting period, from Thursday, Oct. 16, through Saturday, Nov. 2, but not on Election Day. To register to vote, one must be a resident of the county for 30 days prior to Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4.
More information about voter registration is available at ncsbe.gov/registering/faq-voter-registration. Proof-of-identity documents are required for registration. A list of approved documents can be found on the State Board of Elections website.
Registered voters can check addresses and party affiliations, find polling locations and view a mock ballot at vt.ncsbe.gov/reglkup. For any other questions regarding registration, visit ncsbe.gov.
