The Vance County Board of Elections will hold an educational seminar about voter photo identification requirements at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, August 13, 2019, at Vance-Granville Community College in the Civic Center room in Henderson.
There will be another educational seminar at 6 p.m. on Thursday, August 15, 2019, at E.M. Rollins School in the auditorium.
The seminars are free and open to the public.
Beginning in 2020, voters will be required to provide photo identification before they vote. This includes both in-person and by-mail voting, with some exceptions. In November 2018, North Carolina voters approved an amendment to the N.C. Constitution to require voters to present photo ID at the polls.
Session Law 2018-144 requires each county board of elections to hold at least two voter ID seminars before September 1, 2019. Attendees also will receive information about voting options, including absentee-by-mail, One-Stop early voting and Election Day voting. Information about provisional voting, the availability of free North Carolina voter ID cards and residency requirements for voting also will be provided.
For more information on the voter ID requirement in North Carolina, please go to www.ncsbe.gov/Voter-ID.
Please contact the Vance County Board of Elections at 252-492-3730 or send an email to fgill@vancecounty.org if there are any questions.
