Last Call for Applications for Approval of Student and Employee IDs for Voting

Raleigh, NC – The State Board of Elections on April 1 will open another application period for eligible educational institutions and government agencies to apply to have their student and employee photo IDs approved for voting purposes in the 2024 general election.

This is expected to be the final opportunity to apply before the Nov. 5 election, the first general election with the new photo ID requirement. (See photo ID background information below.)

The State Board will accept new applications from April 1 through June 14, 2024. Entities whose IDs have already been approved for 2024 elections do not need to reapply. For a list of all IDs that are acceptable for voting purposes in the 2024 elections, including the entities whose student or employee IDs have already been approved, see Acceptable Forms of Photo ID: 2024 Primary Elections (PDF) or go to BringItNC.com.

Under state law, public and private colleges and universities may apply to the State Board to have their student IDs approved for voting purposes. State and local government entities, including public colleges, universities, and charter schools, may apply to the State Board to have their employee IDs approved for voting purposes.

“Many educational institutions and government agencies across North Carolina have not yet applied to have their IDs approved,” said Karen Brinson Bell, executive director of the State Board of Elections. “This is the last opportunity to do so in 2024. The State Board is ready to assist these institutions and governmental entities as they work through the approval process.”

How to Apply

To request approval for use in the 2024 general election, an institution must provide a signed Student or Employee Identification Approval Request Form and a digital image of the ID card to the State Board on or before June 14, 2024. Public colleges and universities that wish to seek approval of their student and employee ID cards must submit separate approval forms for each type of ID.
