Election Day at UNC: What You Need To Know

It’s that time again – Election Day is here, and if you're a student at UNC, you might be wondering how it all works. Don't worry, we've got you covered! We're going to break down everything you need to know about voting on campus.

Where Do I Vote?

First things first, you need to register to vote. If you haven’t already, you can register online at the North Carolina State Board of Elections website. You'll need your driver's license or other ID, and you'll be asked for your address. Once you're registered, you'll receive a voter registration card in the mail.

Now, where do you actually go to cast your vote? That depends. If you're registered in Orange County, you can vote at the Student Union. However, if you're registered in another county, you'll need to find a polling place in that county. You can find your polling place on the North Carolina State Board of Elections website. Just enter your name and address, and it will show you where to go!

When Can I Vote?

Alright, so you know where to go, but when can you actually vote? Election Day is on Tuesday, November 8th. Voting takes place from 6:30am to 7:30pm.

Pro-tip: Try to vote during off-peak hours to avoid long lines. This is especially true on Election Day.

What Do I Need To Bring?

Okay, you know where to go and when to go, but what do you need to bring? You’ll need a photo ID like your driver's license, student ID, or passport. You’ll also need your voter registration card. If you don’t have your voter registration card, don’t stress! You can still vote – just give your name and address to the poll workers, and they will look you up.

Ready to Vote?

We know it can feel like a lot to remember, but voting is super important! You get to make your voice heard and choose your representatives. We hope this guide has made things a little clearer. Remember to do your research, choose your candidates carefully, and get out there and vote!
