Talley Student Center is an Early Voting Site every day of early voting. Anyone living anywhere in Wake County can vote there during early voting, even on the weekends. Thanks to same day registration you can also get registered or update your registration address when you go if you need to.

Starts on Thursday the 18th, so only a few days now!

10/16/2012 8:24:30 PM

So if i'm registered in JoCo, I can show up to Talley, change my registration to Wake co (bc this is where i live), and then vote?

10/16/2012 8:28:10 PM

^ And then you can go back to JoCo and change your registration back to JoCo and vote again!

10/16/2012 8:32:05 PM

^^Yes. You can both register or update a registration during early voting.

^And then you're a felon.

10/16/2012 8:37:08 PM

what do you need to bring with you (identification wise)

10/16/2012 8:39:30 PM

If you're already registered, then just state your name, your address, and provide your signature. They've already used your social security number or driver license number to check up on you. (You can't use same day registration on the actual election day though because that doesn't give them time to check up on you, I think).

If you're not registered, then check out this link:
http://www.ncsbe.gov/content.aspx?id=135

In particular you'll probably want to click where it says "Click this link for a full list of acceptable documents" to download the PDF that lists 'em all. But probably the simplest is to just bring your license.

Here's the Wake County Board of Election's phone number: 919-856-6240

Hours of Operation
Monday - Friday
8:30 a.m.–5:15 p.m.

They pay people there to answer the phones and answer the publics election related questions. I'm happy to answer any questions I can, but I also thought I should throw that out there so people could get official answers or check up on anything I'm stating. I've called them about this sort of stuff before, so I know they're friendly and helpful.

I think they'd be able to use your SSN or similar info. to tell that you've already voted

jus sayin

...then again I guess just the attempt to vote twice is a felony

Yeah, I'm more supportive of voter ID now after my Fiancee registered to vote last week. Didn't take a bit of identification for her to register. Nothing.

10/16/2012 9:30:56 PM

A social security number or license number was required at the time. If it was not provided, then they will actually have to show an approved ID when they go to vote. And registration can only be done in advance where it can be checked out, not on election day itself for that very reason I believe.

That said, given the political environment, I fully believe this is the last election in North Carolina's history that we'll have without the addition voting identification requirements and burdens that we've seen in many states that had 2010 conservative takeovers. I'd be more open to additional identification requirements though, if I saw them being done in a nonpartisan way that are adequately funded, that don't create a poll tax on poor voters, and don't do partisan shenanigans like letting concealed gun carry licenses count but student IDs don't.

10/16/2012 10:02:13 PM

does talley even look like that anymore?

Yeah, she had to write down her NCDL. No one checked anything. I was there.

If a person has a concealed permit they already have MANY forms of ID. They were required at many, many stages during the permit process. Student IDs on the other hand are not valid ID.

Everyone should have a government issued ID card.

FYI, people doing the voter registrations aren't the ones who check, it's the board of elections that tracks the information when the forms are turned in and processed.

NCSU student IDs are government issued IDs. But I feel like this is getting off topic. I just wanted to raise awareness that we can vote on campus this year, which is a place a lot of tdubbers will be familiar with, and is something I'm happy to see.

10/17/2012 12:24:49 AM

Thank goodness there's a picture or I might have wandered around campus all day looking for the Talley Student Center.

10/17/2012 12:24:52 AM

Its right in front of the giant pit where the bookstore used to be.

Correct. And honestly from what my mom has told me about some of the people that work the polling stations, you don't want them to be the ones deciding if you're a real person or not

10/17/2012 9:47:48 AM

10/17/2012 11:07:46 AM

^^^AHA, my bad, dude! I take it back, and I'm sorry.

Go vote, people!

You can start voting at Talley tomorrow (Thursday the 18th) as soon as 11am until 7pm.

Regardless of what candidate you're voting for, voting early is more valuable for them than voting later, so their volunteers/resources/time aren't spent reaching out to you with phonebanking or other contacts.

Help your candidate by voting early. Vote soon and get yourself off their lists! Vote tomorrow at Talley!

In name only, at best. Moreover, what about a Duke ID? Meredith?

10/17/2012 11:48:28 PM

In name, as opposed to what, in the spirit of identification? I seem to remember getting into college and getting that NCSU ID as a pretty rigorous process. Not that it matters. New ID restrictions will be the law of the land in NC by the next election regardless, so I don't think we should let this thread get too side tracked by one person's ID comments.

Vote early!
Vote tomorrow! ... or I guess technically today now that it's after midnight.

As in, how easy it is to fake the ID, for one. The concept of a "government issued ID" has more intent than simply "any old ID card given out by any random assed agency, no matter how tangentially related to government it is". Surely you would agree that a driver's license is on a different level than a college ID...


BUT, we can both agree that the ID requirements should be done on a staggered scale with plenty of notice about the change and plenty of time for people to get IDs who don't have them, as opposed to surprising people 6 months before the election.

10/18/2012 9:35:49 PM

Anybody go watch passion pit play a short "rock the vote" show at Talley? I heard it advertised on wknc and went over immediately

10/18/2012 10:08:16 PM

I heard it sucked.

10/18/2012 10:36:13 PM

Talley is open for voting today until 7pm!

There is more value to voting early than on election day IMO. Besides getting it out of the way, they track party affiliation of voters to see who has the momentum, and campaigns spend resources trying to remind people who haven't voted yet to vote. If you're listed as already voted, they wont waste those resources on you.

10/19/2012 12:17:55 PM

Can you do early voting anywhere in the state? I'm usually in the RTP office, can I vote early in Durham even though I'm registered in Wake?

10/19/2012 12:25:39 PM

i'm pretty sure it has to be in your county of residence

[Edited on October 19, 2012 at 12:46 PM. Reason : think about all the different ballots they'd have to keep in every county]

10/19/2012 12:45:57 PM

^^Has to be in your own county during early voting, but it can be at any of the early voting sites within your county.

But if you wait until election day, then it'd have to be at your own specific polling place. So you get the most flexibility during early voting.

Here's a complete list of Wake County early voting sites, maybe you can find a close one:
http://www.wakegov.com/elections/info/early/locations/Pages/default.aspx

(If anyone who is registered in Durham County happened to read this, there are early voting sites at Central and Duke too)

10/19/2012 12:49:26 PM

Talley is open until 5pm today.

10/21/2012 3:30:43 PM

thx for urging people to vote, Jake, even if I don't like for whom you would vote

10/21/2012 5:59:53 PM

Of course.

And just a reminder, Talley is open for voting today until 7pm! The weather looks nice today and tomorrow, but it might be getting wetter over the weekend.

So go vote today! Enjoy the nice day! And keep your "I voted" sticker from getting rained on!

And there any many other early voting sites all over Wake County:

The Board of Elections office opens as an early voting site at 8:30am today (closes at 5pm)

Talley is open until 7pm (opens at 11am).

So you have all day, go vote!

10/25/2012 8:04:32 AM

Vote when you can. Vote once.

10/25/2012 9:41:18 AM

Apparently the early voting turnout has been really good this year. Cary's polling station has been averaging about 1500 ballots/day.

10/25/2012 9:47:09 AM

Yeah, it's been like that in many places across the state. We're at least 200,000 more votes this year than at the same time last year I believe.

10/26/2012 8:37:49 AM

any accommodations for parking on campus during the day?

10/26/2012 11:07:34 AM

^ If you havent got a ticket on campus before just do it. All you will get is a warning if caught.

Also if you aren't a student how will state make you pay a campus parking ticket?

[Edited on October 26, 2012 at 11:32 AM. Reason : .]

10/26/2012 11:31:39 AM

I guess they can't until they boot your car.

10/26/2012 12:08:29 PM

i am no longer a student, but i did get a ticket a couple weeks ago on campus haha. no fine, but i do fear the boot for the next transgression

10/26/2012 12:23:48 PM

^Here's some parking info:
http://www.wakegov.com/elections/info/early/Documents/NCSUParking.pdf

But to make it easy, go now. If you get there before 7pm on a weekday, you're good, and most spots on campus are open after 5pm.

Or go tomorrow. On Saturday campus spots are pretty much wide open.

10/26/2012 6:05:36 PM

Just voted at Talley. From the time I parked my bike to the time I got back on it was about 25 minutes, and that includes waiting in "the longest line [they've] seen yet" (about 10 people, 3-4 minutes) and voting for each candidate individually.

When I walked in for "verification" all they asked me for was my name and address. I had my wallet out of my pocket ready to show them ID and she said "we won't ask you for anything like that unless we have to." Really? Lots of people know my name and where I live, any male could have gone in there and gotten my ballot. Hell, I know the names and addresses of a few of my guy friends that I know probably aren't voting, there's nothing stopping me from getting a few more ticks for my candidates of choice. Sure, a felony, but who cares when there's almost no chance of getting caught.

[I am not doing any such thing. It's just the idea that concerns me.] Sure, voter fraud isn't the issue some would make it out to be but I feel like you should have to give SOME sort of suggestion that you are who you say you are.

10/31/2012 3:43:46 PM

^^^you won't get the boot until about 6-7 tickets. First time is a warning, next one is a ticket.

10/31/2012 4:00:32 PM

I voted at the downtown location today. In and out in less than five minutes (that's what she said).

10/31/2012 4:05:23 PM

- Early voting ends tomorrow

- If you early vote campaigns are less likely to waste get out the vote on you, and instead send that final phone call, door knock, or mailer to someone who needs it

- Over the weekend we'll see how many people of which party affiliation have voted so far, which could add or subtract momentum from campaigns you support

- If I remember right on election night they release the early vote totals when polls close, and the rest as they are counted up, so you can help your team take an early lead on election night by voting early

- Find the early voting sites/hours for your county by entering your county here: http://www.app.sboe.state.nc.us/webapps/OS_sites/

11/2/2012 8:28:33 AM

All of Wake County's early voting sites (including Talley Student Center) are open until from 11am to 5pm on this Saturday the 3rd. Check here to confirm and see the locations, or enter a different county if you live elsewhere. It's your last day to early vote (& to same day register which you can't do on Tuesday of election day itself so do it now!).
