  1. Online using the N.C. Absentee Ballot Portal
  
  2. On Paper with the English N.C. Absentee Ballot Request Form (Fillable) or the English N.C. Absentee Request Form (Printable) version, and mail it to PO Box 1565, Raeford, NC 28376 or drop it off in person at the Board of Elections office located at 227 N. Main Street, Raeford, NC 28376.
