Vote!   Voters will not be required to show identification until the 2016 elections. Eligible individuals may register to vote during the early voting period. Although the North Carolina General Assembly eliminated same day registrations, this and other provisions of 2013 legislation that tend to limit voting opportunities are subject to ongoing litigation in federal court.

Only Charlotte voters may vote in the primary, which includes elections for Charlotte mayor and for at-large and district city council seats. All Mecklenburg County voters may vote in the election for Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board at-large seats that will occur in November.

Voters who do not participate in early voting can vote at their precincts during the primary voting on Tuesday, September 15. Steele Creek voters who reside within the Charlotte city limits will have three offices in the Democratic primary and one in the Republican primary. If necessary, the second, runoff primary will be on October 6. Primary winners will face off in the General Election on November 3.
