When and where do I have to vote?

In North Carolina, you can cast your vote during the Early Voting period or on Election Day. Early voting usually starts about two weeks before the election and continues until the Saturday before the election. During the Early Voting period, you can cast your vote at any of the Early Voting sites established in your area. To find out where and when Early Voting sites are open, contact your county or local board of elections. If you choose to vote on Election Day, you will need to go to your designated polling place to vote. Polling places are usually located in your precinct or voting district and can be found by checking your voter registration card or contacting your county or local board of elections. Polls open at 6:30 a.m. on Election Day and close at 7:30 p.m. When you go to vote, remember to bring your voter registration card or a valid form of photo ID, such as a driver’s license, passport, or military ID. No matter which way you choose to cast your vote, your vote is important and will help shape the future of North Carolina.
