Before you head to the polls, make sure to check the NC Voter Registration Repair list to see if you are on it.

If you see your name on this list, update your registration before heading to an early voting site (a day before if online), by following the instructions below:

1. Online: If you have an N.C. driver’s license or DMV ID number, you can update your voter registration application through the DMV’s website for free at payments.ncdot.gov. You don’t need to create an account. On the myNCDMV login page, click “Continue as Guest.” Select “Yes” when asked to update your voter information. 

2. In person: Visit your county board of elections office to ensure your registration is complete. You cannot update your registration by phone. Have your N.C. driver’s license, DMV ID number, or the last four digits of your Social Security number ready when you go.
