If you have not done so yet, update your current address with the Mecklenburg board of elections today. Remember you must be registered in Mecklenburg County 25 days before the primary Sept. 15, 2015 in order to vote in the election. No same registration. Remember you must vote where you live. Not where you own a rental house. No out of precinct provisional ballots allowed to be cast/counted in NC. Madison Park Residents vote either at Pinewood Elementary or Wedgewood Church. This is based on your address. If you are new to the area you can check online at one of the links above your location. Geneally though Seneca Place North side all go to Pinewood. Seneca Place South side back toward Wensley South Side all go to Wedgewood Church annex to vote. If you have trouble getting to the precinct on election day consider absentee ballot request, or voting at one of the early votng sites. Both options make it easy for you to vote. Remember early voting sites will have curb side voting for those that need it. July 15th 2015 Report Reply

This can be completed on your voter identification card, a signed letter to your local board of elections, or on the form specified above. When you move from one county to another, you will need to apply for voter registration in your new county of residence. Use the form specified above, request that an application be mailed to you, or pick up a form at any local board of elections or public library. Note that when you move within the State, the law requires that you update the address on your driver's license within 60 days. When you obtain a duplicate drivers license, you may also elect to update your voter registration information as well. Note that if you move during a time close to an election, the following rules apply: If you have moved more than 30 days prior to the election, you will need to update your registration with your new address (or if applicable, register to vote in your new county of residence) no later than 25 days prior to the election. You will then be registered and may possibly have a new polling location. On election day, if you failed to update your voter registration, you may still vote at your new polling location, as long as you have not moved out of the county of your existing registration. Since your move was unreported, you may be asked to vote a provisional ballot. If you have moved fewer than 30 days prior to the election, you are still qualified to vote in your prior polling place and may vote only there, even if you moved outside of your county. It is important that the board of elections is able to contact you by mail to inform you of changes to your polling place and/or voting districts, so be sure to notify the board of any changes to your mailing address.
