I will have been a resident of North Carolina, this county, and precinct for 30 days before the date of the election in which I intend to vote.
I will not vote in any other county or state after submitting this form and if I am registered elsewhere, I am canceling that registration at this time and,
I have not been convicted of a felony, or if so, I have completed my sentence (including any probation, post-release supervision, or parole).
WHERE do I vote!?
check by your physical address
You may need to use alternative search forms - such as St for Street, Rd for Road, (or vice versa), add or remove apostrophes, etc. Do not put lot or apartment numbers. It took me 3-4 tries to get it right.
