Voting 101

Democracy works best when everyone's voice is heard. Be sure your voice is heard in the upcoming election by checking your voter registration to make sure you are active and up-to-date. 

Am I registered to vote?

You can check to see if you are registered to vote here:

Do I need a voter ID?

Yes. Begining in the 2023 election, you will need to provide a photo id to vote. You can get all the information you need on voter id here: https://www.ncsbe.gov/voting/voter-id

 

How can I get a FREE voter ID? 

Voters can get free IDs at their local county board of elections to comply with the state’s new voter ID requirement. 

TO BE CLEAR! If you already have a photo id (like a drivers license or passport) you DO NOT need to get a special voter photo ID just to vote.

These ID's are free, and available for anyone who does not have another form of ID, or anyone who wants one.

The free IDs will be available during business hours any time until the last day of early voting through Election Day. Voters will need to provide their name, date of birth, the last four digits of their Social Security number and have their photo taken.

The IDs will be valid for 10 years.

I still need to register to vote. How can I register?

You can register to vote by filling out this form and sending it to the Pitt County Board of Elections before the registration deadline on Friday, October 9, 2020:
