HOW TO REGISTER AND VOTE AT A ONE-STOP ABSENTEE SITE

A North Carolina resident who is qualified to vote but who misses the 25-day deadline for voter registration may register and vote at a One-Stop Site during the One-Stop Absentee Voting period.

To use this process, a citizen must (1) go to a One-Stop Voting Site in the county of residence during the One Stop Absentee Voting period, (2) fill out a voter registration application, and (3) provide proof of residency by showing the elections official an appropriate form of identification with the citizen’s current name and current address. The new registrant may vote ONLY at a One-Stop Absentee Voting Site in the county of registration during One-Stop Absentee Voting period and not on Election Day.
Acceptable forms of identification include:
· A North Carolina driver’s license with current address
· A utility bill with name and current address
Ø A telephone or mobile phone bill
Ø An electric or gas bill
Ø A cable television bill
Ø A water or sewage bill

Ø A passport
Ø A government-issued photo ID
Ø U.S. military ID
Ø A license to hunt, fish, own a gun, etc.
Ø A property or other tax bill
Ø Automotive or vehicle registration
Ø Certified documentation of naturalization
Ø A public housing or Social Service Agency document

Ø A birth certificate
· A student photo ID along with a document from the school showing the student’s name and current address
· A paycheck or paycheck stub from an employer or a W-2 statement
