If
you are a U.S. citizen and a North Carolina resident, you need
to register to vote on or before Oct. 8 in order to vote in
the presidential election this fall. (The form needs to
be postmarked by
Oct. 8). If you are currently registered to vote
in North
Carolina
but have moved to a new county, this is a new voter
registration.
If you are already registered to vote in North Carolina
but have moved
within the same county since you registered, you need
to notify your
county board of elections of your new address by Oct.
8 in
order to vote in the presidential election this fall.
Check the box
on
the form "change of information" (Forms need
to be postmarked by
Oct. 8.).
You can go to the following site and print out voter
registration
forms for you and your family and friends:
www.app.sboe.state.nc.us/pdf/form06.pdf.
The form can be placed in an envelop and mailed.
If you are an Orange County resident, the form can
be mailed to:
Orange County Board of Elections
P.O. Box 220
Hillsborough, NC 27278
If you are a Durham County resident, the form can be
mailed to: Durham
County Board of Elections
P.O. Box 868
Durham, NC 27702
If you are a Chatham County resident, the form can
be mailed to:
Chatham County Board of Elections
P.O. Box 111
Pittsboro, NC 27312
If you reside in some other North Carolina county,
go to
www.sboe.state.nc.us/about/directors.asp
to find the appropriate address.
If you have a North Carolina drivers license, list
the number at the
appropriate place on the form, and you will avoid having
to show ID at
the polls. If you do not have a North Carolina drivers
license, you
may
avoid showing ID at the polls by mailing in with your
application a
photocopy of a current valid ID card. This can be a
UNC student ID.
It
can not be an out-of-state drivers license.
The political party question on the ballot determines
which party
primary you would be eligible to vote in in 2006, and
also which party
you are eligible to serve as an officer in.
Again, the registration form can be downloaded and
printed out at:
www.app.sboe.state.nc.us/pdf/form06.pdf.
