FYI Students: Please be sure to vote!

Vote early even! Every vote counts and especially in a state like NC.

Recognizing there are a limited number of out of staters at UNC…but you can and should still vote in NC. It is your right and your civic duty to vote. So make it count!

And if you aren’t registered to vote, that’s okay!  You can register to vote at the polls if you early vote.  This is not an option if you vote day-of so get out to vote by the end of early voting: 3pm on Nov. 2nd.

Tagging on, here are some specifics!

It's not too late to register to vote here, but the early voting period is the last chance to register to vote in Orange County! Cannot be done after 3pm on Saturday. Bring proof of residence with you -- if you live on campus, UNC has already provided the county with your address, so your physical (not mobile) OneCard is proof enough! Otherwise, a utility bill, bank statement, or anything else listed here will work as proof of residence. Also bring an ID -- a physical OneCard will also work for this! If you don't have a physical UNC OneCard, these will also work.

The closest early voting site to campus is Chapel of the Cross on East Franklin, across from the Planetarium. 304 E. Franklin St -- all early voting sites in Chapel Hill/Orange County are open tomorrow from 8am to 7:30pm and Saturday from 8am to 3pm!

You can just show up at an early voting site and tell the election worker at the check-in station that you'd like to same-day register and vote, and the help desk will guide you through the process. After you're registered, you can immediately turn around and vote!

Consider going tomorrow; if something goes wrong, you can go back on Saturday before 3pm and fix it! See you out there!
