All other early voting locations across the state can be found here. During the early voting period, voters can cast their ballot at any early voting location in the county where they are registered.

- North Carolina voters are required to show a valid form of photo ID at the polls.

The State Board of Elections also approved the physical DukeCard and Duke Student Voter ID Card as valid forms of ID for students.
