Election Day 

If you are already registered to vote, you can vote on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4. The polls will be open 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. You can check your registration, find your polling place and download a sample ballot at the N.C. State Board of Elections website. There is no same-day registration available on Election Day. The deadline to register to vote on Election Day itself has passed. 

Voter ID 

All voters are required to show a photo ID in order to vote; please see NCSBE for potential exemptions to the photo ID requirement. For information about what forms of identification are accepted, visit the voter ID page on the North Carolina State Board of Elections website.  

  • How to Obtain a Physical One Card: Students and employees who need a physical One Card to serve as a voter ID may request one at the One Card Office. A physical One Card, without the chip technology of the standard One Card, is available at no cost for any faculty, staff or student who only obtained the mobile One Card. 
  • Other Acceptable Forms of Voter ID: Students and employees may use any other acceptable forms of voter ID published by the State Board of Elections on its Voter ID webpage. 

Visit the One Card website for more information. If you have questions about your residency or voter registration generally, visit the North Carolina State Board of Elections website.
