One Stop Voting
Voters in Rockingham County may vote in person prior to Election Day at a One Stop Voting Location.
One Stop Voting is available at the Board of Elections office located at 240 Cherokee Camp Rd. in Wentworth.
One Stop Voting begins on the third Wednesday before the Election and runs through the Friday before the Election.
During most Primary and General Elections, the Rockingham County Board of Elections will open Remote One Stop Voting Locations in other areas in the County in addition to the site at the Board of Elections Office.
Voters who missed the registration deadline for an Election may Same Day Register and Vote at a One Stop (Early) Voting Location.
Same Day Registration
Persons who are not registered in a county may register at one-stop sites (early voting sites) during the early voting period. Upon completion of registration, the newly-registered voter can immediately vote at that same one-stop site. This process is known as same-day registration.
Same-day registrants must attest to their eligibility and provide proof of residence. A voter attests to her eligibility by completing a Voter Registration Application and affixing his/her signature. Knowingly attesting to false information is a Class One felony. After the voter's attestation, he/she must prove his/her residence by presenting any one of the following showing his/her current name and current address:
- North Carolina driver license
- Other photo identification issued by a government agency. Any government-issued photo ID is acceptable, so long as the card bears the voter's current name and current address.
- A copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document showing the voter’s name and address
- A current college/university photo identification card paired with proof of campus habitation
Within two business days of the person’s registration, the county board of elections will verify the registrant’s driver license or social security number, update the voter registration database, search for possible duplicate registrations, and proceed to verify the registrant’s address by mail. The registrant’s vote will be counted unless the county board of elections determines that he or she is not qualified to vote.
