You do not have to show a photo ID to vote in early voting or on Nov. 6. You will be asked to verbally identify yourself.
You can find your ballot by going to www.wakegov.com and choosing Board of Elections, and you can also check your registration at the same site.

*North Carolina driver license
*Other photo identification issued by a government agency. Any government-issued photo ID is acceptable, so long as the card bears the voter’s current name and current address.

*A current college/university photo identification card paired with proof of campus habitation

Is there a place s in wake forest for early voting.
Dear Gloria,
Yes, there is an early voting location in Wake Forest. It is the Northern Regional Center on East Holding Avenue between the US Post Office and the Wake Forest Library, which is closed for renovations. The hours are 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day this week — October 22 to October 26, plus Saturday, Oct. 27, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 28, 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. The following week, October 29 through November 2, the hours are again 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. with the last day, November 3, the hours are 8 a.m to 1 p.m.
I hope you plan to vote either early or on Nov. 6. There is curbside voting for people who are unable to walk and stand enough to go inside to vote.
