NC REALTORS® Vote

With almost every race on this year’s ballot, it is vital that the REALTOR® voice is heard. COVID-19 has also made things a bit more complicated. But thankfully, the NC State Board of Elections has put together a long list of resources to help North Carolinians vote safely.

IMPORTANT ELECTIONS INFORMATION

NOTE: It is illegal to vote twice in an election. N.C.G.S. § 163-275(7) makes it a Class I felony for a voter, “with intent to commit a fraud to register or vote at more than one precinct or more than one time…in the same primary or election.” Attempting to vote twice in an election or soliciting someone to do so also is a violation of North Carolina law.

REGISTER TO VOTE— https://www.ncsbe.gov/registering
**This page also includes resources to assist you in checking your registration status, polling location, and receive a sample ballot for your area.

Unsure about voting in-person? Request an absentee ballot— https://www.ncsbe.gov/voting/vote-mail

Once you have requested and completed your absentee ballot, follow these steps to ensure it has been counted:

• Check your voter record at the State Board’s Voter Search Tool to find out whether your ballot was accepted by your county board of elections. This information will appear in the voter record after a ballot has been accepted.
• The State Board office strongly discourages people from showing up at the polls on Election Day to check whether their absentee ballot was counted. That is not necessary, and it would lead to longer lines and the possibility of spreading COVID-19.

Vote Early (In-Person)— https://www.ncsbe.gov/voting/vote-early-person

• In 2020, the in-person early voting period begins Thursday, October 15, and ends Saturday, October 31.

NORTH CAROLINA ELECTIONS ARE SECURE!

From NCSBE Executive Director, Karen Brinson Bell
There are numerous checks in place in North Carolina that prevent people from double voting. Electronic pollbooks with information about who has already voted are used at every early voting site. If a voter tries to check in who has already voted, they will be prevented from voting a regular ballot. A voter will be offered a provisional ballot if they insist on voting, and this ballot will be researched after Election Day to determine whether it should be counted.
