Early Voting Starts Thursday at Fifteen Locations Across СѼƵ County

Sites open seven days a week through November 5

Ready to vote? Starting Thursday, October 20, voters can cast their ballots ahead of the November 8 General and Raleigh Municipal Elections at fifteen Early Voting polling places  located around СѼƵ County.

“Voters are telling us they’re excited to return to the polls in person and Early Voting gives them options to find a time or location that’s convenient for them to participate in the election,” said Gary Sims, director of the СѼƵ County Board of Elections. “And if residents missed the voter registration deadline, they can even register to vote or update their address at the same time they cast their ballot.”

Thanks to some innovative tools, СѼƵ County has made it easier than ever to find the nearest Early Voting location and check current wait times.
