"A college or university student may register and vote in the county where they go to school if the student is physically present in the school community and does not intend to return to his or her former home after graduation. However, if the student intends to return to their former home after graduation, then they should remain registered in their hometown.

If the student does not know where he or she will go after college, they may register in their college community or remain registered at home. If a student registers at his or her school address, that registration cancels any previous registration." (ncsbe.gov)

"Your voter registration is tied to where you live. As a college student, you can usually register to vote in either your hometown or where you attend college, depending on the residency requirements of your state. Keep in mind: You can live in more than one place, but you are only allowed to vote in one." (vote.gov)

"Access various types of North Carolina voter registration data on this page. View current voter-level registration records or snapshots of voter registration records across 15+ years. You may also view current group-level voter demographic counts or election-specific voter demographic counts over the last 20+ years." (ncsbe.gov)

Locate early voting sites in your home county, which are different from actual Election Day voting sites.

Based on your residential address, you will be assigned a polling place where you will go to vote on Election Day.

"A voter receives a provisional ballot when questions arise about:

The voter’s qualification to vote,
The voter’s eligibility to vote in a given election, or
The voter’s eligibility to vote a specific ballot style.
A provisional ballot also is used when a voter does not or cannot present photo ID when voting in person." (ncsbe.gov)

"The NVRA is a federal statute that mandated dramatic changes to states’ voter registration procedures by Jan. 1, 1995. North Carolina met the deadline and implemented all aspects of the Act." (ncsbe.gov)
