Snow Hill - Greene County Government Employee’s ID has recently been approved by the NC State Board of Education for voting purposes. According to the Board of Elections the state board of elections has approved 99 student and employee identification cards across the state for use in the 2023 municipal elections and 2024 primary and general elections in North Carolina.

These newly approved IDs include student IDs for all UNC System schools, as well as many other public and private colleges and universities. They also include employee IDs for many educational institutions, as well as some county governments and charter schools. All approved IDs include a photograph, which can be used to confirm a person’s identity when they check in to vote.

These IDs are in addition to the types of identification already permitted by state law for use by voters. The most common type of acceptable ID is a North Carolina driver’s license, but there are other acceptable types of photo ID, which are listed on the State Board’s website at Voter ID. Students who have a driver’s license or other type of acceptable ID may use those, or, if their school’s ID is approved, they may use that ID instead.

The newly approved cards will remain valid for use as a voter’s photo ID through December 31, 2024. In the coming months, the State Board will announce additional ID application periods for 2024 elections.
