Early Voting FAQs

How do I find information regarding the photo ID requirement for voting?

Voters will now be asked to present a valid photo identification when voting in person. If you do not have a valid photo ID card, you may obtain one from your county board of elections prior to the election, through the end of the early voting period.

If you do not have a valid photo ID card on Election Day, you may still vote and have your vote counted by signing an affidavit of reasonable impediment (or "Photo ID Exception Form") as to why you have not presented a valid photo ID. The Exception Form can also be used if you have a religious objection to being photographed or are a victim of a recently declared natural disaster.

As an alternative, if you don't have your ID when you vote, you can still vote and then bring your valid photo ID to your county board of elections by 5 p.m. on the ninth day after Election Day (or the sixth day after Election Day for September or October local elections).

If you vote by mail, then you must include a photocopy of a valid photo ID when returning your ballot. You may also complete the Absentee Photo ID Exception Form that is provided with your absentee ballot materials.

A list of all types of ID that can be used for voting is available on the State Board of Elections Voter ID webpage. For information on how to get a free ID, see Get a Free Voter Photo ID.

Curbside voting is offered at all Wake County Early Voting sites. To be eligible for curbside voting, you must be unable to enter the voting enclosure due to age or physical disability. Look for the parking spaces near the site entrance labeled "Curbside Voting." Early Voting officials monitor the parking area throughout the day and will walk to your car when you park in one of the designated spaces. Click the Site Details links above to view the designated curbside voting area at each site.

No. Your vote will be counted on Election Day along with the ballots cast in the polling places.
