General Election
Voter Photo ID
Voters must present a valid photo ID when voting in person. If you do not have a valid photo ID card, you may obtain one from the Orange County Board of Elections, 208 S Cameron St., Hillsborough, NC on Monday-Friday (8:00am-5:00pm).
If you do not have a valid photo ID card, you may still vote and have your vote counted by signing an affidavit of reasonable impediment (or “Photo ID Exception Form”) explaining why you have not presented a valid photo ID.
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 Thursday November 14, 2024.
For detailed information about the photo ID requirement, visit the N.C. State Board of Elections.
