Here is what to do if you missed the October 11th voter registration deadline

Here is what to do if you missed the October 11th voter registration deadline

Just in case you missed the civilian voter registration deadline, here is some good news. If you're not registered to vote in a county, you can still register at early voting sites during the early voting period and after registering, you can vote immediately at that same site. This process is called “same-day registration.”

When you check in to vote at an early voting site, you can also update your name or address within the same county if necessary. Learn more here https://www.ncsbe.gov/registering/who-can-register.

Who Can Register on Election Day?

Most potential voters are not eligible to register and vote on Election Day. However, eligible potential voters who become naturalized U.S. citizens or have their rights of citizenship 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.

Information Required to Register -

  • Checking the boxes confirming that you are a U.S. citizen and that you meet the age requirements.

  • Your legal first name, last name, and suffix (if applicable).

  • Your date of birth.

  • The voter registration form requires the following information:

    One of the following:

    • An identification number: Your N.C. driver’s license number/NCDMV ID number or, if you do not have one, the last four digits of your Social Security number.

    • If you do not have one of those forms of identification, you must check the box confirming that you do not have one.

  • Residential address, including street number, name, and type, and unit number (if applicable), city, ZIP code, and county.
