The Brunswick County Board of Elections proudly announces the launch of its Voter Connection Opportunities. Scheduled to kick off August 5, this countywide initiative aims to make voter registration and obtaining photo IDs accessible to voters across the county providing a convenient avenue to connect with the Board of Elections office.
With municipal elections being held this fall, closely followed by primary elections in the spring, the Voter Connection Opportunities seek to address barriers to voting by providing individuals with the resources and support needed to register to vote and obtain proper voter photo identification. Events will be open to the public and held at senior center locations, ensuring accessibility for all.
“Everything we do is to ensure voting is accessible to Brunswick County voters,” said Sara LaVere, Director of the Brunswick County Board of Elections, “Yet, for many individuals, making sure they are registered and have an approved form of voter ID can be overwhelming. Our goal with these events is to make our office and the process more accessible to all voters.”
To obtain a voter photo ID at one of these events, individuals must be registered voters and residents of Brunswick County. No ID is required, but a form will need to be completed that requires the voter’s name, date of birth, and the last four digits of their Social Security number.
In addition to providing FREE Voter Photo IDs to Brunswick County registered voters, staff will provide voter registration, Municipal Election voter guides, and other resources to assist voters in understanding their voting options.
