Voting Locations & Hours


 

 

On Election Day, voting occurs at all 23 Sampson County precincts between the hours of 6:30 am and 7:30 pm. A voter must vote in their proper precinct.

On Election Day, you must vote in the precinct in which you are registered. You can change your precinct on election day, but it involves filling out additional paperwork. In order for your vote to be fully counted, you must vote in your correct precinct. Voting out of precinct could result in a partially counted ballot. It is much less complicated to simply pick up a new form, fill it out and send it to us at least 25 days prior to the election. We will then send you notification of your new voting place, voting districts, etc.

If you choose to vote one-stop absentee prior to Election Day (also known as "early voting"), you may vote at any one-stop location in Sampson County regardless of where your precinct is located.

When you go to vote in person during "early voting" or on election day, you must give your name and current address and party affiliation to the precinct workers. Once it is determined that you are qualified to vote in the precinct, you will be given the appropriate ballot which you will mark according to the instructions printed on the top of the ballot.


Curbside Voting

Curbside Voting is available for persons who can get to the polling place but cannot get inside due to age or a current disability. There is a Curbside bell available at each precinct or One Stop voting place; however, if you do not receive service in a timely manner, you may also have someone go into the building and inform the precinct officials that you need a curbside ballot. Curbside voting is available the entire time the polls are open from 6:30 am until 7:30 pm on Election Day, and during any One Stop voting hours.

There is a curbside affidavit that must be completed and signed before a voter can vote a ballot curbside. This affidavit affirms that the voter is eligible to vote a curbside ballot.
