Election 2020: Cabarrus County Revises Approved Early Voting Locations > City of Kannapolis | City of Kannapolis

News Articles

Cabarrus County Board of Elections has changed the lineup of planned early voting locations. The State Board approved four locations in early September. When a scheduling conflict got in the way of approved expanded hours, officials replaced the Charlotte Motor Speedway site with Embassy Suites (5400 John Q. Hammons Dr. NW, Concord), located about a mile away from the track.

Early (or One-Stop) voting begins on Thursday, October 15. To accommodate the large number of anticipated early voters due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Board of Elections will host one-stop voting at larger venues in 2020.

A major change this year is the removal of the Board of Elections Office from early voting site options. While voters will not be able to cast their early voting ballot at the Board of Elections Office, officials will accept absentee ballots at the site.

 

2020 early voting locations:

Cabarrus Arena and Events Center  
4751 NC Hwy. 49, Concord, NC 28025

Embassy Suites         
5400 John Q. Hammons Drive NW, Concord, NC 28027

Kannapolis Train Station

Voters can request an absentee ballot online through the State’s Absentee Ballot Request Portal, https://votebymail.ncsbe.gov, or by contacting the Cabarrus County Board of Elections at 704-920-2860. Voters can return absentee ballots by walking them inside early voting locations. You may not drop-off absentee ballots at curbside voting areas or return them on Election Day.

Unregistered early voters enjoy a special provision, which allows them to register on the day they vote at the early voting precinct. Registered voters are encouraged to check their status and make any updates before October 9.

Voter registration is not available on Election Day.
