Election Day is Nov. 8, but in-person early voting in North Carolina begins Oct. 20 and ends Nov. 5.

Residents can cast their ballots at any early-voting site in the county where they are registered to vote.

Those who are not yet registered can do so and then vote on the same day at early-voting sites. To be eligible to register, residents must be U.S. citizens who reside in the county where they are registering. They must be 18 by Election Day.

Voters can also cast absentee ballots at early-voting sites.
