DMV
The driver's license examination offices, located throughout the State, have conducted a successful voter registration program since 1984. A person may complete a voter registration transaction at any driver's license examination office when conducting official DMV business with that office (applying for or renewing a driver's license, I.D. card, etc.).
Mail
North Carolina has mail-in voter registration forms available through public libraries, high schools and other locations throughout the county. This form is self-explanatory and can be easily completed. These locations do not accept the forms and all forms should be mailed or hand delivered directly to the county board of elections office in Burgaw.
Deadlines to Register to vote in North Carolina
The deadline to register to vote in this State is 25 days before the day of the election.
