Johnston County voters are back at the ballot box Tuesday for the March primary, with Election Day polling places open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Anyone still in line at 7:30 p.m. will still get to vote. County officials are reminding residents that curbside voting is available for people who cannot enter the polling place, that a valid photo ID will be requested at check-in, and that voters whose names do not appear on the list can ask for a provisional ballot and vote that day.
The Board shared a last-minute reminder on March 3, reiterating the hours, curbside voting option and on-site assistance, and steering voters toward county resources, according to the Johnston County Board of Elections. The post also links to precinct lists and PDF sample ballots for anyone who wants to preview their ballot before heading to the polls.
Where to vote and preview your ballot
Johnston County keeps an updated precinct-by-precinct list of Election Day polling sites on its elections pages, according to the Johnston County Board of Elections. Voters can also preview what will be on their ballot via sample PDFs on the Johnston County Board of Elections website.
What to bring and accessibility options
'Voters will be asked to present a valid photo identification when voting in person,' the North Carolina State Board of Elections notes. The agency says voters who lack ID may either sign a Photo ID Exception Form or bring an acceptable ID to their county board by noon on the third business day after Election Day. Curbside voting is available for eligible voters who are unable to enter a voting site, and if a voter's name is missing from the pollbook they may request a provisional ballot, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections.
Election night and quick tips
Expect the busiest windows to be early in the morning and during the final hour before polls close, so plan a little extra time if you are heading out then. If you need assistance, ask a poll worker when you arrive. Bring an acceptable form of photo ID, give yourself a cushion for check-in during peak periods, and check the county elections pages or the Board's social channels for official updates.
