One Stop Voting is part of Absentee Voting.

Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 163-227.2 (a) One Stop voting begins no earlier than the third Thursday before an election, in which ballots are authorized, in which a voter seeks to vote and not later than 1 p.m. on the last Saturday before that election, the voter shall appear in person only at the office of the county board of elections, except as provided in subsection (g) of this section.

Subsection (g) allows the Board of Elections to provide for additional One Stop voting sites by unanimous vote of all its members. The County Board of Elections must submit a One Stop Voting Plan of Implementation to the North Carolina State Board of Elections for approval prior to putting One Stop Voting into practice for our voters.

It depends on the type of election as whether the Board will offer One Stop voting sites other than the Board of Elections site.

One Stop Voting is a convenient way for a voter to vote and avoid long lines on Election Day. New technology paves the way for One Stop Voting in New Hanover County, so stay tuned.
