WCDP Voting Pledge
Take our Voting Pledge! The information you share here will help us focus our organizing efforts as we work to flip North Carolina Blue.
And unless you opt-in to additional communications, we’ll only reach out to share important reminders when it’s time to vote.
The form takes around 2 minutes to complete.
Voter Registration
It is important to ensure that you are properly registered to vote at your current address before each election. No changes to your registration status can be made after the end of early voting or on election day.
If you aren’t sure if you have an election, you can check using the Check Your Registration tool. Enter your information and scroll down to the “Sample Ballot” section. You’ll either see your sample ballot listed or “No Eligible Ballots” for the 03/03/26 election.
Photo ID Requirements & Voter Protection
Beginning with the 2023 fall municipal elections, voters are asked to show photo ID when voting in North Carolina. If you have an unexpired North Carolina driver’s license, you’re all set — just be sure to bring it with you when you vote.
If you do not have an unexpired North Carolina driver’s license, please check the acceptable list of photo IDs on the State Board of Elections website to see if you already have an acceptable photo ID. If you don’t or if you’re not sure, WCDP recommends that you acquire a free photo ID from the Wake County Board of Elections at 1200 N. New Hope Rd. Raleigh, NC 27610.
Registered Wake County voters can visit the Wake County Board of Elections in-person Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM until 5:15 PM to acquire a free photo ID. No special documents are needed — you can simply provide your name, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security number, and have your photo taken.
