Voting in Raleigh on Election Day

In Person Voting - Feat

Tomorrow is the big day, a.k.a. Election Day. Still sorting all the details? Don’t sweat. We’ve got you covered. 👇

Pick your candidates

There are two types of people — those who know exactly who’s getting their vote and those who still haven’t researched who’s running. Both are okay. If you fall in the latter category, here’s a breakdown of local + state candidates on the ballot. If you’re in the former category, a refresher never hurt anyone.

Find your polling location

Before you get to your polling place + wait in line to cast a vote, make sure you’re already registered.

Wake County polling places will be open on Tuesday, November 3 from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, your polling location could have changed, so even if you think you know where to go, triple check. All you have to do is put in some personal information here (first name, last name + year of birth), and you’ll be directed to a page with all of your voter details, including your polling place.

Worried about long lines? You can track wait times at each polling location here.

Grab your face mask + hand sanitizer

The CDC has recommended the following steps to take before + while voting in person:

  • Check your voting location and requirements in advance — they may have changed due to COVID-19.
  • Verify your voter registration information is correct in advance.
  • If possible, complete any registration forms prior to arriving at the polling location.
  • Review or complete a sample ballot at home to speed the process of casting your ballot.

Making sure your voice is heard is a pretty cool thing to do, and the best way to do that is through voting. Let’s knock this out of the park, Raleigh.
