Photo ID Required for Voting

Voters will be asked to show photo ID when voting in North Carolina.​

Most voters will simply show their driver’s license. But there are many other acceptable photo IDs.​

If a voter does not have an acceptable photo ID, they can get one for free from their county board of elections. Learn more at Get a Free Voter Photo ID.​

Voters can also get a free ID card from the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV). Find more information under “No-Fee ID Cards” at State IDs | NCDMV.​
