Check your Voter Registration

Change or update your address

 

You can check your voter registration and once you do that it will let your see a ballot for your precinct.    Lots of amendments on ballot.    

 

Know before you go ...... can get you not only to the correct precinct, but it can also help you decide who you wish to vote for and what amendments before arriving to speed up the process for all voters.    

When you move within a county, you should complete an in-county change of address. 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.

The North Carolina Voter Registration Application may be used to change any voting information, including: name, address and party affiliation. The change notification must be signed, and should be sent to the appropriate County Board of Elections by the voter registration deadline (25 days before each election).

Remember if you did not change your address or need to register to vote and you missed the 25 days before the election you can do either or both at an early voting site only.   On election day you CANNOT register and vote.  

 

If you show up at your old precinct and have moved and the move was more than 30 days in the county in NC you will be redirected to your new voting precinct.   If you moved less than 30 days prior to the election on election day you must vote only at your old location.     

 

Again though you can avoid any issues with non reported moves by going to an early voting site starting 10/17/18.    The reason why is Early voting sites have access to all ballot styles for Mecklenburg County.   On election day only the assigned ballots for each precinct are available.
