[Durham INC] Please vote tomorrow and update on early voting

[Pat Carstensen]

About 29K people voted early, out of 236K registered voters.  This is about ¾ of the number who voted in the 2020 primary.


If you missed early voting and aren't sure about your polling place tomorrow, the polls are open from 6:30 AM to 7:30PM on Tuesday.  To find your polling place, you can

  *   put an address in here: https://vt.ncsbe.gov/PPLkup/ or
  *   look yourself up here: https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/


The process is slightly different from last fall: you give your name and the check-in person clicks away at the computer and then checks your ID.  Paper temporary driver's licenses are no longer acceptable ID, but if your old license expired less than a year ago, you can use that.  The address on the driver's license does not need to match the address in your voter record.  This fact sheet (https://s3.amazonaws.com/dl.ncsbe.gov/Voter%20ID/2023-Voter-ID-Requirement-Infosheet.pdf) lists the photo IDs you can use and explains what you can do if you have no ID.


If you need to update your registration within Durham County, you can still do it when you vote on Tuesday.  You should go to the precinct for the address at which you resided on February 2nd of this year and look for the "check in" station that is marked "Transfer Station."


You can't change your party tomorrow.  If you are "unaffiliated," you may choose a Democratic, Libertarian, Republican or Unaffiliated ballot (the Unaffiliated ballot has only the school board races).  You can do a provisional ballot if you don't want to use the ballot for the party you are registered in.


Some registrations are marked "inactive" because they sent you mail and it wasn't delivered.  This happens, for example, to folks who have old mailing addresses in their records.  It is no big deal.  Just tell the nice person at the computer what your current address is.

For some sites, the bottleneck is how many people can be in the act of voting at the same time.  Get your sample ballot by looking yourself up at https://vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup/ (you can carry in your list of choices on your phone).

Some offices will not be on your ballot; for example, NC Senate 20 isn't on the Democratic ballot because only one Democrat is running for the office.  These offices WILL be on the November ballot.

Regards, pat
