North Carolina’s in-person early-voting period opens Thursday, Oct. 15, and runs through Saturday, Oct. 31. Voters must bring an acceptable photo ID to vote. The early-voting period also offers options for people who need to update their registration. Voters may change their name or address at check-in if the new address is in the same county. People who are not registered can register and cast a ballot on the same day during early voting. Mecklenburg County has 25 early-voting sites. Locations listed include the Hal Marshall Center in Uptown, Park Expo Center in east Charlotte, Marion Diehl Recreation Center in south Charlotte, West Boulevard Library in west Charlotte and the former University City Library in University City. Voting hours are 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. on weekdays, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sundays. Voters can check site locations and requirements through the North Carolina State Board of Elections.
