A new state law allows residents who are qualified to vote but who missed the regular registration deadline to register and vote at a One-Stop Site during the One-Stop Absentee Voting period.  This “same day” registration is available at One-Stop sites only during the One-Stop Absentee Voting period and is not permitted on Election Day.  To register and vote using this process, a citizen must (1) go to a One-Stop Voting Site during the One Stop Absentee Voting period, (2) fill out a voter registration application, and (3) provide proof of residency by showing the elections official an appropriate form of identification with the citizen’s current name and current address.  The new registrant may vote only at a One-Stop Absentee Voting Site in the county of registration during the One-Stop Absentee Voting period and not on Election Day. 

As a reminder, the Town of Cary is a pilot location for Instant Runoff Voting.  For more information on Instant Runoff Voting, registering to vote and voting at a one-stop site, visit the Elections section of www.wakegov.com.
