Where to vote
Registered voters must vote at their assigned precinct polling place on Election Day. That’s different from early voting, when people may cast a ballot at any early voting location in their county.
Polling places are open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Anybody who is in line at their assigned polling place at 7:30 p.m. will be able to vote.
Voting sites tend to be busiest in the early morning and before polls close, according to the State Board of Elections.
Check your polling place here.
Who’s on the ballot?
North Carolina’s semi-closed primary system means voters who are registered as a Democrat or Republican can only vote in their party’s primary. Unaffiliated voters can pick which primary they want to vote in.
The state’s other recognized political parties, Libertarian and Green, do not have primaries on the ballot this year.
At the federal level, North Carolina has an open U.S. Senate seat, as Sen. Thom Tillis is retiring. Several of the state’s 14 congressional districts also have primary elections.
Voters will choose nominees for seats on the North Carolina Court of Appeals, and many may find primary challenges for state House and Senate seats on the ballot, too.
Some voters will also have primaries for local elections, like city council, board of commissioners, school board, district attorney and sheriff.
You can find out which races you’ll be voting on by looking up your sample ballot here.
If you requested a mail-in absentee ballot, it won’t be counted if it isn’t received by your county board of elections by the end of Election Day. (Alternately, you can discard the mail-in ballot and vote in person today instead. Just don’t do both.)
Photo ID requirement
The NC State Board of Elections requires voters to show valid photo identification when voting in person.
These include a driver’s license, U.S. passport or passport card, state ID from the NC Department of Motor Vehicles, NC voter photo ID, approved college or university student photo ID, and state or local government or charter school employee photo ID.
