Voter Registration

Transylvania County has free, permanent and continuous registration. You may register to vote by certifying that:

• You are a U.S. citizen

• You are not registered nor will you vote in any other county or state

• If you have been convicted of a felony, your rights of citizenship have been restored

• You are or will be at least 18 years old by the date of the next general election

You must apply for voter registration or update your registration only if you:

• Have not registered in Transylvania County before

• Have moved your residence since you registered in Transylvania County. You may change your address in person or by mail, but it must be done no later than 25 days before an election in order to avoid delays in the voting process on election day.

• Wish to change your party affiliation

• Have changed your name

• Have been removed from the registration list for having had no contact with the Election Office
