North Carolina Voting Procedures
New legislation approved July 2013 requires the following:
Voters need to present government-issued photo IDs at the polls
Early voting is shortened from 17 days to 10
Same-day registration is no longer possible. Voters must register, update their address or make any other needed changes at least 25 days ahead of the election.
A high school civics program that registers tens of thousands of students to vote each year in advance of their 18th birthdays has been eliminated
Straight-ticket voting has been eliminated
Not all these changes are effective with the 2013 elections. We will post updated information closer to election time.
