Before showing up to the polls, you can click here to check your voter registration status, find your polling place, and view a sample ballot. 

If you are not already registered, you can register to vote and cast a ballot or update any address changes at any early voting site in Wake County using same-day voter registration. To do this, just show up at an early voting site with proof of residency by bringing any of the following:

• 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 the voter’s current name and address.
• A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document showing the voter’s name and address.
• A current college/university photo identification card paired with proof of campus habitation.

You cannot vote on Election Day if you are not already registered to vote.
