CURRENT STATUS: PHOTO ID REQUIRED
All registered voters will be allowed to vote with or without a photo ID. When voting in person, you will be asked to present a valid form of photo ID. If you do not have a valid photo ID, you may obtain a Voter ID card from the Dare County Board of Elections office through the end of the early voting period, which runs from October 17, 2024 through November 2, 2024.
If you do not have a valid form of photo ID on Election Day, you may still vote and have your vote counted by signing an affidavit of reasonable impediment as to why you have not presented a valid photo ID. The exception form can also be used if you have a religious objection to being photographed or are a victim of a recently declared natural disaster.
As an alternative, if you don’t have your ID with you when you vote, you can still vote and then bring your valid photo ID to your county board of elections by 5 p.m. on the ninth day after Election Day.
If you vote by mail, you must include a photocopy of a valid photo ID when returning your ballot. You may also complete the Absentee Photo ID Exception Form that is provided with your absentee ballot materials.
If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact the Dare County Board of Elections at 252-475-5630 or 252-475-5631.
