Early Voting for June Primary Begins May 31 in Steele Creek

Same-day registration is available for the primary, but barring further court action, it will not be permitted thereafter. Most voters must now show acceptable photo ID or declare a reasonable impedement at the polling site. See 2016 Supreme Court Primary Election Guide for more information about election procedures. Absentee ballots are available until May 31. Go to Mecklenburg County Board of Elections for more information.
