Friday is the last day to register to vote for the upcoming primary election on March 15.

If you are registering for the first time or updating your information, you can find that form here. The form must be filled out and postmarked or received by your local board of elections or the State Board of Elections by this Friday, February 19.

Voters will choose their party representative for the general election races in November. North Carolina has a semi-open primary process, which means unaffiliated voters can vote in any one party’s primary but registered party members must vote in their respective party’s primary. Voter will choose their party’s representative for President, Governor and Senate.

Voters will also vote “for” or “against” the Connect NC Public Improvement Bond. Most of the $2 billion bond will goes towards the UNC system, improving the water and sewage system and funding for state parks.

This year will also be the first year North Carolina will require a photo ID to vote. Acceptable forms of ID are a NC Driver License, a US passport, a military ID, a veteran ID, and certain tribal identification cards. If you do not have one of these IDs then you can still vote if you sign a form saying you have a reasonable impediment, such as a lack of paperwork or proper transportation.

If you want to mail-in your vote, you can request an absentee ballot online or receive one during early voting. Absentee ballots must be received by March 8. No photo ID is required to cast an absentee ballot.

Same-day registration will be available during the early voting period from March 3-12. To vote on the day of the actual primary, March 15, you must register by Friday.

According to the State Board of Elections, only 35% of registered voters in North Carolina voted in the last presidential primary in 2012.
