Voter ID
Photo ID Required For Voting - 2023
Voters will be asked to show photo ID when voting in North Carolina, starting with the 2023 municipal elections.
Most voters will show their driver's license, but there are many other acceptable photo IDs.
If a voter does not have an acceptable photo ID, they can get one for free from Montgomery County Board of Elections. Learn more at Get a Free Voter Photo ID.
Voters can also get a free ID card from the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles (NCDMV). Find more information under "No-Fee ID Cards" at State IDs | NCDMV.
All voters will be allowed to vote with or without a photo ID. If a voter cannot show a photo ID when voting in person, they can still vote by filling out an ID Exception Form. If absentee-by-mail voters are unable to include a copy of their photo ID with their ballot return envelope, they can also fill out an ID Exception Form with their ballot. Find more information at ID Exceptions.
VOTER ID CARDS CAN BE PRINTED FOR FREE FOR ANY VOTER THAT NEEDS ONE AT THE MONTGOMERY COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS OFFICE DURING 8AM 12 PM THEN 1PM UNTIL 5PM.
BY LAW VOTER ID CARDS WILL NOT BE PRINTED BETWEEN MARCH 2, 2024 AFTER 3PM UNTIL MARCH 6, 2024 AT 8AM.
