Board of Elections 902-3300 While many options exist for Early Voting, your final opportunity to vote is on Election Day. Don't fall victim to any schemes designed to reduce turnout and disenfranchise voters! You cannot vote by phone. If someone tells you that by talking to them over the phone, you've cast your vote, they are lying. There is not voting on different days depending on your party affiliation. The last opportunity to vote is Tuesday, November 4th. Unpaid parking tickets or home foreclosures do not remove your right to vote High voter turnout is the key to Democratic victories not only in the Presidential Race, but all the way down the ballot. Be sure to ask neighbors, friends, and relatives to make sure they get out and vote if they haven't already. The racial minorities and the elderly are frequently the targets of these types of efforts. Don't let them take away your opportunity for CHANGE! Very Importantly! If you are told that you cannot vote for some reason at the polls, you should request to cast a Provisional Ballot. A Provisional Ballot allows you to cast your vote on Election Day even if there are problems with your registration. Problems can be resolved after Election Day, but only if you complete the provisional ballot on election day! Problems? If you witness improper activities, voter intimidation, or have problems that cannot be resolved by the precinct judge, contact the County Board of Elections, the Pitt County Democratic Party, or the local Obama Campaign Office for assistance. The NC Democratic Party has also posted national hotlines for voting assistance or to report problems at the polls: 1-877-US-4-OBAMA Obama Campaign Election Protection: 1-877-874-6226 1-866-OUR-VOTE Nonpartisan Election Protection Coalition: 1-866-687-8683 On Election Day, Vote at Your Local Precinct On Election Day, polls open at 6:30am and close at 7:30pm. If you are in line when the polls close, you will be permitted to vote, but you must stay in line until you have voted. Those arriving after 7:30pm will be turned away. Heaviest turnout (and longest lines) tend to be early in the morning, around lunchtime, and after 5pm. Avoiding these times is a good way to minimize time spent waiting in line. Bring Your ID If there are questions about your registration, you may be asked to show identification. A photo ID, showing your address, such as a driver's license is always best, but other proof, such as a utility bill may be used in some cases. If you are asked to provide ID and do not have it, make sure to request a Provisional Ballot, so you can vote and provide ID to the Board of Elections afterwards. Not sure where to vote? Check your registration at the State Board of Elections, or call the Pitt County Board of Elections at 902-3300. If you have recently moved, and you do not live at the address on your registration, you may need to go to your old precinct, your new precinct, or to the Annex (located on Greene Street, north of the river) in order to assure you are voting the correct ballot and all of your votes will be counted. Also, each precinct should have an "Unreported Moves Assistant" who can help you with voting at that precinct (by provisional ballot if needed) or direct you to the Annex. The 7:30 deadline applies to the Annex as well. If you are in jeopardy of not voting by the closing time, a provisional ballot, even one which includes races you are ineligible to vote for, can be used to vote for those races for which you are qualified to vote. Map of Pitt County Voting Precincts on Google Maps select your precinct on the left, click "Get directions to here" and type an address to get directions to that precinct. Instructions for Special Situations on Election Day Fail-Safe Voting: The Provisional Ballot If you think you are a registered voter but your name does not appear on the county's official list of registered voters, you are entitled to cast a provisional ballot. You may also vote using a provisional ballot if if you are asked for identification at the polls but do not have a photo ID or other document with you. Remember to: fill out the statement on the envelope that comes with the provisional ballot; once you vote your ballot, place it in the provisional ballot envelope and return the sealed envelope to the election official; check to see if your provisional balllot was counted, and if not the reason it was not counted. The county Board of Elections will determine your eligibility to vote through research into records and will count all ballot items for which you are eligible to vote. If you voted a provisional ballot because you did not have valid ID at the polls, you have until canvass day, Nov. 14, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. to provide acceptable ID to the county Board of Elections office. Voter Assistance: A voter's close family members are allowed to help the voter enter the voting booth, prepare the ballot and exit the voting booth. A voter in any of the following categories is entitled to assistance from a person of their choice if the the voter: is unable to enter the voting booth without assistance, is unable to mark a ballot without assistance due to physical disability; is unable to mark a ballot without assistance du to illiteracy; or is unable to enter the voting booth or mark a ballot without assistance due to blindness. Assistance cannot be provided by the voter's employer, an agent of that employer, or an agent or officer of the voter's union. Curbside voting Curbside voting is offered at each polling location. A voter can vote in a vehicle outside the polling location. A curbside voter has the same rights to assistance as any other voter. Right to Vote for President, even if you are not registered on Election Day A voter may have the right to cast a "Presidential Ballot" on election day that allows the voter to vote for the President, and only the President on Election Day, even if he is not registered. Federal law may permit this, and you would need to do so by requesting a Provisional Ballot.
