Eligible voters who missed the voter registration deadline may still vote in person at an early voting site from Oct. 17 through Nov. 2. Same-day registrants will need to bring proof of their current residence and fill out a voter registration form at the site. Same-day registration is not available at Election Day polling places in North Carolina.
Completed, sealed absentee ballots may be returned at an early voting site by the voter, their near-relative or legal guardian, or someone assisting the voter due to disability. Drop boxes are not permitted by N.C. law and anyone delivering an absentee ballot must wait in line to log the ballot in with an election official.
