2023 Municipal Elections Early Voting Details 

You can vote at any early voting location and may update your name or address if needed.  You may also register at early voting sites but must attest to your eligibility and prove residence by showing:

  • North Carolina driver's license
  • Other photo identification issued by a government agency
  • A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document showing the voter's name and address
  • A current college/university photo identification card along with proof of campus residence

Within two business days of registration, the county board of elections will verify the driver's license or social security number, update the voter registration database, search for possible duplicate registrations, and verify the registrant's address by mail.  The registrant's vote will be counted unless the county board of elections determines that he or she is not qualified to vote.
