Ready, set, VOTE!
Important Deadlines in N.C.
- Oct. 9 at 5 p.m. is the deadline to register or update your registration online, by mail or by dropping off in person if you plan to submit a mail-in /“absentee” ballot, or vote in person on Nov. 3.
- Oct. 15 – Oct. 31 are dates for One-Stop Early Voting, in person, with on-site registration if needed. During early voting, voters may cast a ballot at any early voting site in their county. This is different from Election Day when registered voters must vote at their assigned precinct. Confirm early voting sites and schedules in your county for this election with the One-Stop Early Voting Site Search. Note that mail-in/”absentee” ballots may be dropped off in person at any early voting site in your county during voting hours.
- Tues., Oct. 20, two weeks prior to the Nov. 3 postmark deadline, is the recommended date to mail a ballot to ensure the ballot does not arrive late.
- Nov. 3, at 5 p.m., is the deadline for mail-in (or “absentee”) ballots to be postmarked, and then they must be received by 5 p.m. on Nov. 6.
- Nov. 3, at 5 p.m., is also the deadline to drop off a mail-in/“absentee” ballot in person at your county board of elections office
