2022 primary election: Early voting locations in the Triangle
Voting early can be a simple and convenient way to avoid long lines at polling places on Election Day.
During the early voting period:
- Voters are able to cast a ballot at any open early voting location in their county over the span of a few weeks.
- Voters can also register to vote in-person at any early voting location in their county.
Early voting begins April 28 and ends on May 14. You can take these next few weeks to learn more about the candidates in your jurisdiction and ensure you’re all set to hit the polls.
Here’s how to find where you can vote during the early voting period, plus some polling place locations in Chatham, Durham, Johnston, Orange and Wake counties.
How to find polling places using your NC voter record
If you’re registered to vote, you can visit vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup and find your voter record. You’ll need to fill in your first and last name, as well as your voter status, which will either be “registered” or “removed or denied.”
If you’re registered to vote, here’s some of the key information you’ll find:
County: Knowing which county you’re registered in will help you determine where you can vote early.
Election Day polling place: Your precinct has a specific voting site for Election Day (which can also be found in your voter record), but if you choose to vote early, you can vote at any early voting location in your county.
A sample ballot: Find a sample ballot for the upcoming election based on your precinct.
