Voters will be required to present an acceptable Voter ID (e.g. driver's license) at the time of voting beginning in 2024.  A summary of the Voter Photo ID Requirement is available here.
  • Don't leave anything to chance, be sure to get your Voter ID this year.
  • Free Voter IDs are available now at the NC Department of Motor Vehicles and at our Polk County Board of Elections.
  • People can vote with a provisional ballot even if they don't present a valid Voter ID at the time of voting.  An additional form will need to be filled out and a voter ID presented before the county canvass.

We Believe...

  • Helping people in need strengthens our community
  • The health and safety of our neighbors are important
  • Censorship through book banning and teacher harassment harms public education
  • Capitalism is at its best when it works for everyone equally
  • My "freedoms" should not hurt or infringe on anyone else's "freedoms"
  • Racism and discrimination are wrong
  • Violence and hate are NOT "legitimate political discourse"
  • Government is not the enemy; Hate, fear and disinformation are the enemy
  • Rules and laws must apply to everyone equally
  • Climate change is a real and immediate danger
