When can I vote?

Where is my polling place?

When voting on Election Day, voters must go to their assigned polling place. This is different than when voting early, where voters can cast their ballot at any early voting site. North Carolina polling places and South Carolina polling places can be found online by entering your residential address. 

How do I get people out to vote?

Send them this link where they can find out more about their state or local election office.
