Urgent: Final Chance to Request North Carolina Absentee Ballot Today

URGENT UPDATE: Today, October 21, 2023, marks the final opportunity for North Carolina voters to request an absentee ballot for the upcoming general election on November 4, 2023. All requests must be submitted to the North Carolina State Board of Elections by 5 p.m. today.

This deadline is critical for those unable to vote in person. North Carolina law stipulates that absentee ballot requests must be made by the second Tuesday before the election, making today’s deadline non-negotiable. Voters are encouraged to act immediately to secure their ballots and ensure their voices are heard in this pivotal election.

Those who miss this deadline still have options. Voters can participate in early voting, which is available before Election Day, or they can cast their votes in person on November 4. However, the absentee ballot is a vital choice for many, especially those who may be traveling or unable to reach polling places on Election Day.

Residents of Raleigh and surrounding areas should not delay. Visit the North Carolina State Board of Elections website to request your absentee ballot and confirm your voting status.

As the election approaches, the stakes are high, and every vote counts. Make sure to share this information with family and friends to help ensure that everyone has the chance to participate in this essential democratic process.

Stay informed and engaged as we approach Election Day—your vote is your voice!
