How to Get a Free Voter Photo ID in Pitt County
If you need a photo ID for voting in North Carolina, you can get a free North Carolina voter photo ID card through the Pitt County Board of Elections. Here’s what it’s used for and how to request it.
A North Carolina voter photo ID card issued by a county board of elections is an acceptable photo ID for voting in North Carolina. If you don’t have a driver’s license or another accepted ID, this is a straightforward way to get a voting-ready photo ID without paying for it.
Show up without an acceptable photo ID? You can still vote. Fill out an ID Exception Form and cast a provisional ballot. Or vote provisionally, then bring your photo ID to the county board of elections by noon on the third business day after the election - that validates your ballot.
If you vote absentee by mail, plan ahead: you must include a photocopy of an acceptable photo ID when you return your ballot. If you can’t include a photocopy of an acceptable ID, you can complete an ID Exception Form instead.
To get a free voter photo ID from the county board of elections, you’ll be asked for your name, date of birth, and the last four digits of your Social Security number. You’ll also need to have your photo taken as part of the process, since that photo is what makes the card usable as a photo ID at the polls.
Note: If you’re submitting a new voter registration application, it must include the applicant’s original signature on the form, and only the applicant may sign.
