Your Resources for Early Voting Next Week

Hello, Wolfpack community:

Freedom of expression is a core university value and is essential to our mission of pursuing knowledge, disseminating what we learn, and promoting civil and respectful discourse. For American citizens, one of the best ways to express that freedom is by voting. Please see some important resources below as we head into election season.

Early Voting in Talley Student Union

Students, employees and members of the broader community who reside in Wake County can cast their ballots at Talley Student Union from Thursday, Oct. 17, through Saturday, Nov. 2, ahead of Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Same-day registration is available during early voting. If you’re not a Wake County resident, click here to learn more about your options for registering and voting.

Get Informed, Make a Plan

It is your individual responsibility to get informed before casting a vote. I encourage you to spend some time with the nonpartisan voter resources available to you and ensure you’re knowledgeable about the candidates and initiatives on the ballot.

As a reminder, voters in North Carolina are required to present a photo ID when voting. Your NC State Wolfpack One Card or North Carolina driver’s license are valid forms of photo ID. For more information about this requirement, visit the North Carolina State Board of Elections website. If you’d like to attend an event related to civic engagement or read more about what to expect at a voting site, our nonpartisan university coalition, Pack the Polls, is here to help.

Voting for Those Affected by Hurricane Helene

Students and employees registered to vote in North Carolina who are impacted by Helene can visit www.ncsbe.gov/Helene. This page includes information on absentee voting, what to do if your voter ID is lost or destroyed, and more.

Freedom and Respect

College campuses — including ours — are environments for engaging and thought-provoking discussion. You may hear or participate in lively debates in the weeks leading up to Election Day. As you express your views, remember that we each play a role in cultivating a community that encourages learning and mutual respect for one another.

Thank you,
