 EARLY VOTING — NOW THROUGH NOVEMBER 3

A North Carolina resident may register and vote during One-Stop Absentee Voting, otherwise known as “early voting.”

To vote during One-Stop Absentee Voting, you must fill out a voter registration application on-site and prove residency by providing appropriate identification with current name and current address. It is too late to vote on Election Day if you have not yet registered, but it is not too late to vote early.

• Must be a U.S. citizen.
• Must be a resident of North Carolina.
• Prior to voting, must be a resident of the county for at least 30 days prior to election day.
• Must be at least 18 years old or will be 18 by the date of the next general election.
• Must rescind any previous registration in another county or state.
• If previously convicted of a felony, the person’s citizenship rights must be restored (must not be serving an active sentence, including probation or parole).

Acceptable forms of identification include:

· A North Carolina driver’s license with current address
· A utility bill with name and current address
· A telephone or mobile phone bill
· A student photo ID along with a document from the school showing the student’s name and current address.
