You may now register to vote online! If you are a DMV customer with a North Carolina driver's license or DMV-issued ID, you may now register to vote online.

Voter registration forms must be either postmarked or delivered in person by 5 pm 25 days before Election Day.

Same-Day Registration during Early Voting:

You may register to vote at your polling location during the one-stop early voting period (ends Friday before the election). To register during early voting you must prove your eligibility and provide proof of residence. You must show a current name and address ID such as:

• North Carolina driver's license
• Other photo ID issued by a government agency
• Copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document showing the voter's name and address
• Current college/university photo ID card paired with a current roster prepared by the college/university and transmitted to the county board of elections office, which lists all students residing in campus housing facilities.

Any other type of government-issued photo ID is acceptable as long as the card has your current name and current address. The ID may be expired, but the name and address must be current.

Same-Day Registration on Election Day:

Eligible would-be voters who become naturalized U.S. citizens or whose rights of citizenship are restored after serving a felony sentence ahead of Election Day, but after the regular voter registration deadline, may register and vote during early voting or on Election Day. 

Not registered? Use our registration tool to fill out your application and mail to your county Board of Elections. Or you can register during the Early Voting period.
