Any voter in line at their assigned polling place at 7:30 p.m. can vote. The busiest times are early morning and just after work before the polls close. Avoid longer lines by voting at off-peak times.

Citizens must be registered by October 9th at 5pm, to vote in person on Election Day. Same-day voter registration is unavailable on Election Day, so unregistered voters may only vote by casting a provisional ballot with the precinct staff. 

ELECTION INTEGRITY

Note that when you insert your ballot into a tabulator, your selections are recorded on a media card in the tabulator. These results will be counted and reported publicly on election night. For further confirmation that your ballot was counted, use the Voter Search. Your ballot status will appear in your “Voter History” section as soon as your county completes the post-election certification process. This may take up to a few weeks after Election Day. If you have questions, please contact the Cabarrus County Board of Elections. 

At the Republican Party, we believe in ensuring the people's Constitutional Right to a fair, legal and accurate election. Our election judges, poll workers and observers work hard to ensure the law is followed and that every registered vote counts. If you encounter an issue while voting, do not leave the polling place without first reporting it to the election judge at your early voting site. Afterward, follow up with the NCGOP Election Integrity Hotline at 984-600-7072 to report your concerns or observed irregularities at your polling place. If you are outside your polling place or in curbside voting, record your issue on your phone using video or photos. Please note you are not permitted to take photos inside a polling location.

  If the phone line is busy, file a report of your issue, and someone from the North Carolina Republican Party will follow up with you
