A recent decision will allow UNC students to vote with their mobile One Card, a step toward modernizing access in elections.

Guess what? UNC students can now vote with their phones!

Our multimedia reporter Jessica F. Simmons (@jessrepthenews) explains that the NC State Board of Elections has approved the Mobile UNC One Card as a valid ID for voting in the November elections.

While not everyone is on board—Republicans have expressed concerns—this move should make it easier for college students to cast their votes. It’s definitely a step towards modernizing voter access in the democratic process.

Support Our Cause

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for North Carolinians and our future.

Since day one, our goal here at Cardinal & Pine has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of North Carolina families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
