Early Voting begins today for November elections

Early Voting begins today for November elections

The early voting period for the municipal elections in Lexington, Thomasville, Midway, Denton and Wallburg begins today. The elections will be held on Tuesday, November 7.

To vote early, there are two locations where you can do so:

  • Davidson County Board of Elections - 945 N. Main St. Suite A Lexington, NC 27292

  • Thomasville Library - 14 Randolph St. Thomasville, NC 27360

From the NC State Board of Elections Website:

  • Eligible individuals who reside in a county but are not yet registered to vote there may register during the in-person early voting period. After registering, the newly registered voter can immediately vote at that same site. This process is called “same-day registration.” When you check in to vote at an early voting site, you may also update your name or address within the same county if necessary.

  • 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.

    All voters will be allowed to vote with or without a photo ID. If a voter cannot show photo ID when voting in person, they can still vote by filling out an ID Exception Form. If absentee-by-mail voters are unable to include a copy of their photo ID with their ballot return envelope, they can also fill out an ID Exception Form with their ballot. Find more information under ID Exceptions below.
