Make sure you are vote ready. Check your voter registration status at least four (4) times a year; make sure that it reads "Active". When your voter registration status is Active, that means that you are "vote ready" for any North Carolina election.
You may apply to register online; when the application is complete it will be forwarded to the North Carolina Board of Elections. If there are any issues with the application or if more information is needed, your county board of elections will contact you to complete the process.
As a result of a recent N.C. Superior Court ruling, convicted felons in North Carolina may be eligible to register to vote if certain conditions are met.
