Midland, North Carolina Public Records

The registration deadline is 25 days before any election for online or by-mail registration, though same-day registration is available during the early voting period and on Election Day at the voter's assigned precinct. Voters must provide a North Carolina driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number. As an unincorporated community, Midland has no municipal elections for mayor or town council. Residents vote in Cabarrus County, state, and federal elections instead. Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners elections are held in even-numbered years, with partisan primaries in May and general elections in November. Voters can find their assigned polling place by using the voter search tool at vt.ncsbe.gov/RegLkup or by calling the Board of Elections. Polling places for Midland-area precincts typically include Midland Elementary School and nearby community centers. North Carolina law, specifically N.C. Gen. Stat. § 163, makes voter registration lists publicly available for lawful purposes. Campaign finance records are searchable at www.ncsbe.gov/campaign-finance, while candidate filings and precinct-level election results are posted on the State Board of Elections website and the Cabarrus County elections site. Absentee by-mail ballots can be requested online at votebymail.ncsbe.gov or by submitting a written request to the Cabarrus County Board of Elections. Requests must be received by 5:00 PM on the Tuesday before Election Day. North Carolina requires an acceptable photo ID to vote in person as of 2023. Acceptable IDs include NC driver's license, passport, military ID, tribal ID, and certain other government-issued photo identification. Voters without ID may use the reasonable impediment declaration process. Early voting, also known as one-stop voting, is available at multiple sites across the county for approximately 17 days before each election. During this period, voters can register, vote, and have their ballot counted in one visit.
