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 during
early voting, this and
other provisions of 2013 legislation that tend to limit
voting opportunities are subject to ongoing litigation in
federal court. |

district city council seats. All Mecklenburg County voters
may vote in the election for Charlotte-Mecklenburg School Board
at-large seats.
