During early voting, voters may cast a ballot at any early voting site in their county, and voters needing to register may same-day register and vote. This is different from Election Day, where registered voters must vote only at their assigned polling place and are not allowed to register on Election Day.
The Early Voting period for the 2022 General Election begins Thursday, October 20, 2022, and ends on Saturday, November 5, 2022.
Registered voters or eligible individuals in North Carolina may cast an absentee ballot in person during this time. This period is sometimes called “one-stop early voting.”
