Various methods of voting are used in North Carolina. If you need instructions on how to use the voting device in your county, how to vote a straight ticket, or how to cast a write-in vote, call your Board of Elections, or ask for instructions when you go to your polling place. In a primary election, you must state your name, address and party affiliation. In a general election you may vote your preference on candidates and issues regardless of your affiliation. Sample ballots are available at your Board of Elections prior to election day, and at the polling place on election day.
Most places are accessible to disabled voters.
Have someone enter the voting place and inform the election officials of your desire to vote in this manner. You may request an absentee ballot from the Board of Elections if you are registered to vote, but are unable to go to the polls on election day. Absentee voting is permitted in most elections and is available as explained below. The written request must be signed by the voter. An application and ballot will be mailed to your home.
