Wilkes Board of Elections Voter ID Seminar This Month

The Wilkes County Board of Elections will hold an educational seminar about voter photo identification requirements at 2:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 30, 2019, at Wilkes County Agriculture Center, 416 Executive Drive, Wilkesboro. Beginning in 2020, voters will be required to provide photo identification before they vote. This includes both in-person and by-mail voting, with some exceptions. In November 2018, North Carolina voters approved an amendment to the N.C. Constitution to require voters to present photo ID at the polls. The seminar in Wilkes on Thursday, May 30, at 2pm and 6pm is free and open to the public.
