In-person early voting begins on Thursday in Buxton and other Dare County locations

October 19, 2022 | Local News

North Carolina’s in-person early voting period for the 2022 General Election begins on Thursday, October 20, and ends at 3 p.m. on Saturday, November 5.

Early voting, (also known as One-Stop Absentee Voting), allows any registered voter to cast an absentee ballot in person on select days prior to Election Day. Unlike Election Day on November 8, when registered voters can only vote at their specific precinct, early voting allows registered voters to vote at any early voting site within Dare County.

Same-Day Registration is also available at one-stop early voting stops for folks who want to vote in the upcoming General Election, but who have not registered as a voter yet. Per the Dare County Board of Elections, residents are eligible for same-day registration if they meet the following criteria:

Are 18 years old by Election Day
Have lived in Dare County for at least 30 days
Can provide proof of identity and residency
- An identification document is required when using Same-Day Voter Registration during Early Voting. The acceptable documents that may be used include a North Carolina driver’s license, a photo ID from a government agency, a copy of one of the following that shows the name and address of the voter: a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government documents.
