The State Board of Elections today announced there will be more early voting locations across North Carolina than in any prior off-year election.  A total of 366 one-stop sites will host 25,735.5 hours of early voting, including 68.8 percent more evening hours than in 2010, the most recent non-presidential general election.

“We are proud of the hard work counties have done to offer voters a variety of ways to participate,” said Executive Director Kim Westbrook Strach of the State Board of Elections.

One-stop early voting begins Oct. 23.  The State Board of Elections has provided an online tool to help voters select the most convenient one-stop location in their county.   

Voters are encouraged to check their registration information and to update their information while voting at a one-stop location.  If a voter has moved to a new county, they must submit a new registration form by Oct. 10.

A factsheet comparing 2014 and 2010 one-stop plans is available online [link no longer active].
