Frequently Asked Questions
How do I register to vote?
In North Carolina, there are two ways to register to vote:
-
Visiting the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV). Existing DMV customers may submit a voter registration application online. You may also visit the DMV in person.
-
Registering by mail. Download this form (in English) or this one (in Spanish). Fill it out (in ink). Mail it to the designated address on the last page of the form. It must be postmarked by the voter registration deadline.
Do I need a photo ID to vote?
Nope! A 2018 voter ID law was struck down in 2021. Many states have them, but not North Carolina. All you need to do is show up.
