Do you or your organization want to learn more about the voter registration process and voter registration drives in North Carolina?
The State Board of Elections is now offering free voter registration seminars, which include detailed information about the following:
- The legal qualifications for registering to vote.
- Tips on completing a voter registration application and updating an existing registration.
- Key considerations when conducting a voter registration drive.
These seminars will also include information about the photo identification requirements for voting. They will be conducted upon request in person anywhere in North Carolina or online.
State Board staff has also scheduled in-person seminars at the State Board of Elections office on the third floor of the Dobbs Building, 430 N. Salisbury St., Raleigh, NC 27603.
These seminars will be held at 6 p.m. on July 25, July 31, Aug. 14, Sept. 12, and Sept. 25. For more information, see Calendar of Events.
“This is a convenient way for individuals and organizations to get accurate information about elections straight from the most reliable source — elections officials,” said Karen Brinson Bell, executive director of the State Board of Elections. “We encourage North Carolinians to request seminars and to attend these in-person events.”
State Board staff also provide free seminars about the voter photo ID requirement and about accessibility in voting. Since late April, State Board staff have conducted 29 seminars about the photo ID requirement and seven seminars about accessibility.
