In America, it is the people as a whole who decide will lead the country, the states, the counties and the towns and cities. Voting then is not just a right, it is an obligation on each person to join their neighbors to select the best people for all the leadership posts. We urge you to vote this fall, either during early voting or on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 6.
Wake Forest has an early voting site at the Northern Regional Center at 350 East Holding Avenue. The remaining hours for voting are:
– Monday, Oct. 22 through Friday, Oct. 26, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.
– Saturday, Oct. 27, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
– Sunday, Oct. 28, 1 to 6 p.m.
– Monday, Oct. 29 through Friday, Nov. 2, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

There are eight other early voting locations throughout Wake County in addition to the Wake County Board of Elections at 337 South Salisbury Street in Raleigh. The nearest to Wake Forest is the one in Knightdale at the Knightdale Recreation Center, 101 Lawson Ridge Road. It has the same hours as the Wake Forest location.
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.
If you are not registered, you can register to vote at any early voting place from today until Saturday, Nov. 3. In order to register and vote on the same day bring any ONE of the following documents showing your current address:
*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 copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document showing the voter’s name and address
*A current college/university photo identification card paired with proof of campus habitation
