How to Register
This link takes you to the NC State Board of Elections (NCSBE) website and all the information on the ways to register to vote.   You can register online, in person at the NCDMV, or by mail using a paper form available at the Polk County Board of Elections.  The PCDP will be available to help with registration if needed [see Officers page for contact information]

Who can Register
This link takes you to information from the NCSBE.  
While you can't be serving a felony sentence, including probation, parole, or post-release supervision;  you are eligible once a felony convention sentence is served. 
​There is specific information for college student registration.  16 or 17 year olds may preregister to vote.  Your voter application will be processed once you reach 18y.

Updating Registration
This link provides information to update your voter registration to reflect a change of address, party affiliation, or name.  Changes to your registration are due 25 days before election day or when you vote in person during early voting. 

Checking your registration
Check your registration before it is time to vote at the NCSBE Voter Search site.

Registering During the Early Voting, In Person Period

You can register on the same day during the early, on-site voting period. This cannot be done on in-person election day.

Proof of residence includes any of the following documents that include the voter's current address.
  • NC Driver's License
