Register to Vote in Wake County

To vote in Wake County, you must be registered. To register, you must be:

  • At least 18 years old (or at least 18 years old by the date of the next general election.)
  • A U.S. citizen.
  • A resident of Wake County for at least 30 days by the time of the election.
You can register any time of the year, and you have to register only once. 
 
Fill out a voter registration application (you can find a .pdf file of it at the bottom of the article) and take it to:
337 South Salisbury Street
Raleigh, NC 27601
 
You also mail the application. Mail the application to:
Wake County Board of Elections
PO Box 695
Raleigh, NC 27602
 
If you need help completing your voter registration form, call 1-866-522-4723.
 
North Carolina also has a system known as one-stop voting
to let you register and vote at the same time. You can do this at locations, dates and times posted here.
 
The one-stop voting period extends from 19 to 3 days before the election. It is important to remember that you cannot register to vote on Election Day itself.

To use the one-stop voting process, you must:

  • Go to a one-stop voting site
  • Fill out a registration application
  • Provide proof of residency.
 
If you are already registered to vote but need to update your name or address, please use the voter registration update form (you can find a pdf file of it at the bottom of the article).
 
You may register with any political party recognized in the State of North Carolina. Party affiliation determines the primary in which a voter is eligible to vote. You may also register unaffiliated.
 
If you do not declare a party, you will be registered as unaffiliated. During a partisan primary election, an unaffiliated Wake County voter may choose to vote in any party's primary.
 
You may change your party affiliation any time before the registration deadline, except between first and second partisan primaries.
 
A voter registration card will be mailed to you after your registration application or update form has been processed. Keep the card. It tells you the location of your voting place and the districts in which you reside.
 
You may use the card to change your address if you move within Wake County or to change your name or party affiliation. If you move out of Wake County, you may use the card to cancel your registration.
