Orange County offers absentee voting by mail to all registered Orange County voters.

Requesting an absentee ballot
Registered voters may request a ballot through the Online Absentee Request Portal. The portal may be use by voters to request a civilian absentee ballot or access Military/Overseas Voter Services.

Absentee ballot requests also may be made directly to the Orange County Board of Elections by using the 2024 State Absentee Ballot Request form. The form must be signed by the voter or a near relative who is making a request on behalf of a voter. The request may be mailed (PO Box 220, Hillsborough 27278), or hand delivered to our office (208 S Cameron St. Hillsborough 27278). Voters have until October 29, 2024 to request an absentee ballot.

After submitting a request form, voters can sign up for the BallotTrax system which tracks an absentee ballot and sends status notifications about where the ballot is in the election process, from printed to accepted.

The North Carolina Board of Elections has set September 24 as the date that County Board of Elections will start sending out absentee ballots to voters who have requested them.

Photo Voter ID Required
Voters must include a photocopy of a valid photo ID when returning an absentee ballot. The photocopy must be placed into the sleeve on the outside of the ballot envelope. Voters unable to submit a photocopy of their photo ID, may complete the Absentee Photo ID Exception Form that is provided with the absentee ballot materials.

Submitting an absentee ballot
Absentee ballots may be returned to the Orange County Board of Elections by mail (PO Box 220, Hillsborough 27278), or hand delivered (208 S Cameron St. Hillsborough 27278). Absentee by mail ballots must be received no later than 7:30 pm on Election Day, November 5, 2024, in order to be eligible to be counted.

Voters who receive an absentee ballot may still vote in person on Election Day or during early voting as long as the mailed absentee ballot has not been returned.

On Monday, September 9, the North Carolina Supreme Court ordered the State Board of Elections to remove Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s name as a presidential candidate, requiring county boards of elections to reprint 2024 general election ballots. At this time, no date is available as to when absentee by mail voting will begin and sample ballots can be distributed.
