An upcoming election deadline is approaching quickly in North Carolina. The civilian voter registration deadline takes place next week on Oct. 13.

Civilian voter registration deadlines apply to the general population who are eligible to vote but are not part of the military or living overseas. These deadlines vary by state but are usually within a few weeks before the election date. Meeting this deadline is crucial for being able to participate in an election.

The North Carolina Board of Elections oversees elections and campaign finance disclosure in the state.

In October 2023, North Carolina has passed a series of laws that will change how elections are administered in the state. The laws include changes to absentee ballot counting, private funding for elections, and voter rolls. The bill is also aimed at eliminating the governor’s power to appoint the State Board of Elections and transfer it to legislative leaders.

Civilian voter registration deadline for Nov. 7 municipal elections.

Deadline date: Oct. 13
