YOUR VOTE COUNTS

All your voting information in one place.

Connecting you with information about your local elected officials in offices that greatly impact your day-to-day life.

In North Carolina, You Can Vote in U.S. Federal, State, and Local Elections If You:

  • Are a U.S. citizen
  • Are registered to vote by NC’s voter registration deadline
  • Live in the county where you are registered and have resided for at least 30 days before Election Day
  • Are 18 years old on or before Election Day

  • Are not serving a felony sentence, including any period of probation, post-release supervision, or parole

How Is Voting in the Primary Election Different Than in the General Election?

There is more than one ballot and it depends on how you designated your status when you registered to vote.

  • Registered Republicans may vote the Republican Primary ballot only.
  • Registered Democrats may vote the Democratic Primary ballot only.
  • Unaffiliated voters must choose one political party’s ballot when signing in to vote.
  • A voter cannot vote in more than one political party’s primary.

NOTE: You can change your voter status at any time if you want to change which primary ballot you can vote on.

Remember to Bring Your Photo ID

NC voters will be asked to show a photo ID to vote

In North Carolina, voters are required to present a valid photo ID when casting their ballots. This photo ID requirement is part of the state’s voter identification laws aimed at ensuring the integrity of the voting process.

Cabarrus County Historically Has an Extremely Low Voter Turnout

In fact, less than 50% of our population has chosen our community leaders in recent elections. Don’t let the minority choose your elected officials.

Primary Elections Sometimes Count More Than the Actual Election

In the Cabarrus County Commissioner elections, no seat has been held by a non-republican candidate since 1986. Therefore, the winner was actually chosen during the primary election.

Voters who are unaffiliated may participate in primary elections and get to decide each year in which party’s primary they want to vote.

Local Elections Impact Your Everyday Life and Family

Voting and encouraging others to vote means standing up for the issues you care about by electing the people who have your best interests at heart. Voting has tangible effects on whether or not our elected officials care about our needs.

Voting gives a stake in your community.

Your Vote Is Your Voice

You should vote for those elected officials that stand up for the values you believe in, and there is no more basic value than the right of every eligible voter to be able to cast their ballot.

Never doubt that your vote is powerful but it must be exercised to remain so.
