Who may vote at an early voting location?


Any eligible Transylvania County voter may vote at any Transylvania County early voting location.

May I update my name or address at an early voting location?


Yes. You may update your name and address before voting. If you moved 30 or more days before Election Day, you will receive the ballot style of your new address. If you moved fewer than 30 days before Election Day, you will receive the ballot style of your old address. Update your name or address now by completing a voter registration application.

May I change my party affiliation at an early voting location?


No. Changes to party affiliation cannot be made during the early voting period. Update your party affiliation now by completing a voter registration application.

Why are the lines so long at early voting locations?


Lines are generally not long during the first days of early voting. Voting lines are the longest on the final 3 days of early voting.

I heard that if I vote at an early voting location, my vote may not get counted. Is that true?


No. Your vote will be counted on Election Day along with the ballots cast in the precincts.

Will there be "In-Person Registration" at Early Voting Sites?


Yes. Persons who are not registered in a county may register at one-stop sites (early voting sites) during the early voting period. Upon completion of registration, the newly-registered voter can immediately vote at that same one-stop site. This process is known as same-day registration.

Same-day registrants must attest to their eligibility and provide proof of residence. A voter attests to their eligibility by completing a Voter Registration Application and affixing their signature. Knowingly attesting to false information is a Class One felony. After the voter's attestation, the voter must prove residency by presenting any one of the following showing their current name and current address:

  1. North Carolina driver license
  2. Other photo identification issued by a government agency. Any government-issued photo ID is acceptable, so long as the card bears the voter's current name and current address.
  3. A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document showing the voter’s name and address
  4. A current college/university photo identification card paired with proof of campus habitation

Within two business days of the person’s registration, the county board of elections will verify the registrant’s driver license or social security number, update the voter registration database, search for possible duplicate registrations, and proceed to verify the registrant’s address by mail. The registrant’s vote will be counted unless the county board of elections determines that he or she is not qualified to vote.
