Election Day is Tuesday, November 3!
Early voting ended Saturday, October 31, at 3 p.m., and the absentee-ballot request deadline for voting by mail has passed.* If you still need to vote, Election Day is your last chance! Head to your assigned polling place on Tuesday, November 3, from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. to cast your ballot!
* There’s still time to submit your mail-in ballot!
- Absentee ballots must be received by your county board of elections by 7:30 p.m. on Election Day.
- It’s too late to mail in your ballot! It may not arrive in time, and postmark dates don’t matter.
- Absentee ballots cannot be dropped off at Election Day polling places!
- If you still haven’t submitted your ballot, drop it off at your county board of elections office. Can’t do it yourself? Your legal guardian or “near relative” can drop it off for you. If you can’t drop off your ballot due to disability, anyone can do it for you.
- You can also choose to discard your absentee ballot and vote in person on Election Day. (Only vote once! Don’t vote in person if you already voted by mail.)
Who can vote
- Anyone already registered to vote in North Carolina.
- No same-day registration on Election Day.
Where to vote
- You can only vote at your assigned polling place!
- You cannot vote at any other polling place.
When to vote

- If you’re in line by 7:30 PM, stay in line. You will be able to vote.
What to bring

- Forget your ID? Go back and get it if you can. If not, vote provisionally and cure your ballot later.
