Charlotte Voters Required To Show A Photo ID
Date postedAugust 30, 2023
Charlotte voters are the first in the state required to show a photo ID with early voting starting today for the Sept. 12 mayoral and City Council primary election.
North Carolina voters in 2018 approved an amendment to the state constitution that requires a photo ID to vote. Advocacy groups sued over the implementing law, but the state Supreme Court earlier this year said photo ID is constitutional.
The first elections requiring photo ID are Charlotte's and Sanford’s municipal primaries.
The North Carolina Board of Elections has a list of state-approved photo IDs on its website.
