Lost your voter ID? Here's how you can still cast your ballot in NC's elections

WHAT IDS CAN BE USED TO VOTE?
Voters may provide a driver’s license, passport or free voter photo ID card from their county board of elections. The state has also approved dozens of student and public employee IDs for voting. A full list of approved IDs can be found on the State Board of Elections’ website.

CAN I STILL VOTE IF I DON’T HAVE AN ID?
Yes. Any voter who doesn’t have an ID can fill out an ID exception form when they go to vote.

This form provides a variety of options for voters to select as the reason why they cannot provide an ID. These include that the ID was lost or stolen, that a voter applied for an ID but has not received it, or that a voter has a religious objection to being photographed.

Another of those options is that the voter was a victim of a natural disaster within 100 days before Election Day. Anyone affected by Helene would fit into this category.

All votes cast with an exception form will be counted unless the bipartisan county board of elections unanimously agrees that the information contained in the form is false.
