What to Bring:
- [Photo ID] Photo ID Requirement: Under NCSBE Numbered Memo 2023-05, because Duke University is a private university, on-campus students relying on the university housing roster MUST present their physical Physical DukeCard. Alternative photo IDs (such as an out-of-state driver's license or passport) cannot be paired with a private university housing roster. (Confirmed with Durham County Board of Elections).
- [Roster] Housing Roster Separation Rule: Under NCSBE rules, an approved campus housing roster provided to the County Board of Elections serves as proof of residency only if it explicitly separates and identifies residents by individual campus housing facility / dormitory, and is presented alongside the student's photo ID.
What to Bring:
- [Photo ID] Photo ID: Any approved photo identification.
- [Proof] Proof of Residence: A document showing your name and current local Durham County address (utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, lease, or university official letter; digital on smartphone is accepted).
