GREENSBORO, N.C. — Primary Election Day in NC is Tuesday, May 17, 2022. Polling places are open from 6:30 am to 7:30 pm. Unlike early voting, registered voters must go to the assigned polling place.
No ID is needed. You don't need your license or voter ID card to vote. When you get there, the poll worker will ask you to state your name, address, and birthdate, and don’t be surprised if they also ask about your party affiliation.

You ONLY vote for your party. Democrats get a ballot with Democrat candidates in NC Primary elections and Republicans get a ballot with only Republicans on it.
“Democrats vote on the Democratic slate, republicans on Republican slate but an unaffiliated voter is different, they'll be asked which one they want to participate in. The unaffiliated voter comes in to pick only the Democrats or only Republicans, not a mix of the two,” said Charlie Collicutt of the Guilford County Board of Elections.
