Generic Script

West and Central Campus residents: W.I. Patterson Recreation Center, 2614 Crest St.

Off campus: Check here to see where your precinct's polling location is.

How to get there:

  • Duke Political Union is running walk-overs from East Campus bus stop to George Watts at 9 p.m., 11 p.m., 1 p.m, 3 p.m., 4 p.m., and 5 p.m.
  • DPU is also providing transportation to the W.I. Patterson Recreation Center from 12 p.m. - 7 p.m. from the Bryan Center Circle for West and Central Campus residents.

Things to know:

  • You must already be registered to vote in Durham county to vote here, as North Carolina no longer partakes in same-day voter registration.
  • You do not need to have any identification to vote in this year's elections. The provision of the new voting law in North Carolina requiring government-issued photo identification does not go into effect until 2016.
  • If you go to a polling place that is not for your precinct, you will be able to fill out a change of information form and vote a provisional ballot only, which will be examined by the Board of Elections to see if it can be counted.

Event on campus:

  • DPU, Duke Political Review and Connect2Politics are hosting an Election Watch Party at the Loop starting at 9 p.m with free food and prizes.
