Visitors will also be able to get a photo voter ID, which is now required to be shown by registered voters who do not already have an acceptable ID. A full list of accepted voter IDs can be found at ncsbe.gov/voting/voter-id.
“We always strive to empower more people to vote in Wake County by making information and resources as accessible as possible,” said Olivia McCall, Board of Elections director. “This collaboration with the libraries is an excellent opportunity for us to provide accurate information and help residents better prepare for the upcoming elections.”
The two organizations have worked together to offer voter registration at local libraries for years, but this is one of the largest initiatives ever planned. The events provide a convenient opportunity for residents to get their voting needs met at locations across Wake County.
