Voters Are Not Required to Show Photo ID in Primary Election

Posted on by

Voting is one of the most important rights of U.S. citizens. Now is the time to let your voice be heard!

In a December 31 order, a federal district court blocked North Carolina’s voter photo ID requirement from taking effect. As a result, voters will not be required to show photo ID for the March 3, 2020, primary election. The injunction will remain in place until further order of the court.  For more information visit the State Board of Elections website: www.ncsbe.gov.

Keep in mind, voters typically need to register to vote at least a month before election day. Be sure to:

  1. Familiarize yourself with upcoming election dates and NC voter eligibility requirements.
  2. Register to vote if you meet the eligibility requirements.

Voter registration drives are being held on campus Feb. 3 through Feb. 6. Visit a campus near you to get registered!
