Same-Day Voter Registration in North Carolina

You can register to vote and cast a ballot at any early voting site in your county using same-day registration during early voting from Oct. 17 – Nov. 2, 2024.

With same-day voter registration, you can fill out a voter registration form, show an identifying document and vote at any early voting site in your county when it is open.

(Please note: same-day voter registration is NOT available on Election Day.)

The identifying document for same-day registration must be one of these, with your name and current address:

• a North Carolina driver’s license

• other photo identification issued by a government agency. Any government-issued photo ID is acceptable, provided that the card includes your current name and address.

• a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or a government document showing your name and address

• a current college/university photo identification card paired with proof of campus habitation. For additional guidance on acceptable proof of residence for college students, visit Registering as a College Student: During Early Voting.

(NOTE: All voters who use same-day registration also will be asked to show an acceptable form of photo identification when they check in to vote. This may be the same identification used to complete same-day registration, if the voter used an approved form of photo ID, such as a driver’s license. However, if the document used for same-day registration is not a photo ID approved for voting, the voter will be asked to show an approved form of photo ID. Most voters will simply show their driver’s license, but many other types of photo ID will be accepted, including many student IDs. Learn more about voter ID.)
