You should receive a voter registration card in the mail within a week or two of submitting your application. If you dont receive a card, call your county elections office to verify your registration.

Thief didnt stop till he got caught; signs still missing
DURHAM -- A Durham prowler just couldnt stop.
In a crime captured on video, he cut through a security fence at a sign shop and stole 50 stop signs, Durham police Investigator N.M. Cloninger said. The signs were worth $1,250.
Investigators looking for the missing signs Wednesday got a tip from a resident who spied something suspicious. The crime-fighter had followed a man who was pushing a shopping cart filled with 16 stop signs down the road. They ended up in a salvage yard, where the man was trading 16 signs for $28. Police broke up the deal and arrested Timothy Rorie, 42, of Durham.
He was charged with injury to real property, felony larceny and obtaining property by false pretenses.
Authorities havent found the 34 remaining signs.
