Wake Forest voters can cast ballots before Nov. 7, Election Day, but only if they travel to Raleigh or Garner.
Until Nov.1, the only early voting site is the Wake County Board of Elections office at 337 South Salisbury Street in Raleigh. Then from Nov. 1 through 4 there will be five early voting sites in Raleigh and one in Garner.
Wake Forest would have to pay for an early voting site and never has for the off-year town elections.
The Raleigh sites are Roberts Community Center at East 1300 Martin Street, Anne Gordon Center for Active Adults at 1901 Spring Forest Road, Lake Lynn Community Center at 7921 Ray Road, Method Road Community Center at 514 Method Drive, and Green Road Community Center at 4201 Green Road. The Garner site is the Avery Street Recreation Center at 201 Avery Street. The hours for all sites are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Nov. 1 through 3. On Nov. 4 the Raleigh sites will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the Garner site will be open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Voters do not have to show their identification cards. Be sure to ask for the Wake Forest ballot if you go to one of these early voting sites.
On Election Day Wake Forest voters will cast their ballots at their precinct which is listed on their voter registration cards. There are nine precincts in town. You can find the address for your precinct by going to www.wakegov.com/elections where you can also see a sample ballot for Wake Forest.
On Election Day, Tuesday, Nov.7 the polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
