3 One-Stop Early Voting in Cumberland County for the primary election begins Thursday, April 28 and runs through Saturday, May 14.

The races on the Cumberland County ballot will include the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, N.C. General Assembly, N.C. Supreme Court and Court of Appeals and the Fayetteville City primary.

There will be seven locations people can vote during Early Voting:

  • Kiwanis Recreation Center, 352 Devers St., Fayetteville
  • Cliffdale Recreation Center, 6404 Cliffdale Road, Fayetteville

Early Voting hours during the weekdays are 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. On Saturdays, April 30 and May 14, hours are 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., and on Sunday, May 1, hours are 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Residents may register and vote at any one-stop early voting location. When you check in to vote at an early voting site, you may update your name or address within the same county if necessary. Individuals who are not registered to vote in a county may register and immediately vote at that same site. The voter must prove their residence by showing any of the following documents with their current name and address: North Carolina driver’s license, other photo identification issued by a government agency, a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document showing the voter’s name and address, OR a current college/university photo identification card paired with proof of campus habitation.

Curbside voting will be available at all voting sites for those who cannot enter the polling location due to age or physical disability. Voting sites have designated parking indicating curbside voting and an alert system that will notify the election officials. An election official will come to the vehicle to obtain the voter’s name and address. Before a ballot is issued, the voter must swear an oath affirming their qualification to use curbside voting.

The last day to request an absentee ballot is May 10. The final day to hand-deliver an absentee ballot will be May 17 at 5 p.m. at the Board of Elections office. Absentee ballots sent by mail must be postmarked by May 17, and the Board of Elections must receive them no later than May 20.

On entering the voting place, voters can give their name, address and party to the election officials. If they are correctly registered, they will be given a ballot to take to the voting booth.

Unaffiliated voters may choose the Democratic or Republican ballot or, if available, a nonpartisan ballot. Registered Libertarians may only vote on a nonpartisan ballot if available in their jurisdiction since there are no primary contests for that party.

If precinct officials cannot locate a registration record, voters may be asked to vote on a provisional ballot.

The primary election will be held on Tuesday, May 17.

If no state or federal candidate reaches the total necessary to become the nominee in a contest on the ballot in the May primary, a second primary may be held on July 26. The General Election for the City of Fayetteville will be held on July 26.
