RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Unlike the early voting period, where eligible voters can register and cast a ballot at any site in the county where they reside, North Carolina voters will have to go to their assigned polling place on Election Day, Nov. 5.
But how do you know where that is?
The N.C. State Board of Election has a tool where registered voters can find their polling place by entering their home address. Once voters submit their address, they’ll be able to see the location of their Election Day polling place as well as their exact precinct and sample ballot. For some, a photo of the location is also available.
You can also search using the tool below:
Election Day Polling Place Search
Search by Precinct
Search by Address
If your residential address contains north, south, east, or west, you may have to try different options to locate your polling place.
For example, if your residential address is 123 W Main St, your options are:
123 W Main St
123 Main St W
123 West Main St
123 Main St West
Remember to include the street type. If your residential address is 789 Park Avenue, your options are:
789 Park Avenue
789 Park Ave

All Election Day polling places will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 5. All voters will have to show a photo ID when checking in to get their ballot. Assistance is available to those with impairments, disabilities or accessibility needs. Curbside voting is also available for eligible voters.
For those unsure whether or not they’re registered, the NCSBE also has a tool where residents can check their status. This search tool, which requires users to enter a person’s full legal first and last name, can show whether a person is registered or has been removed/denied from voter rolls.
If a person is registered, this tool will also allow voters to see all their details, including jurisdictions, Election Day polling place, current sample ballot, and voting history in North Carolina.
This tool can also be used to check whether a ballot returned either by mail or in-person early voting in the current election cycle has been accepted.
