Voting isn’t just a right, it’s a responsibility of citizenship. Every time we have an election, it’s our opportunity to influence the direction of our local, state, and federal government. The right to vote must be protected, but it must also be exercised.

1. Make sure you’re registered to vote.
2. Learn about the candidates.
3. VOTE!

1. Registering to Vote

There are two ways to register to vote (or update your voter registration) in North Carolina:

   • A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document showing the voter’s name and address
   • A current college/university photo identification card paired with proof of campus habitation
