During early voting, ballots may be cast at any of the eight early-voting sites in the county, and would-be voters may both register and vote. This is different than on Election Day, when voters must vote at their assigned polling places.

The eight polling stations are:

  • Cliffdale Recreation Center, 6404 Cliffdale Road.
  • College Lakes Recreation Center, 4945 Rosehill Road.
  • East Regional Library, 4809 Clinton Road.
  • Gray’s Creek Recreation Center, 2964 School Road, Hope Mills.
