Pittsboro, NC – The Chatham County Board of Elections is pleased to announce the launch of its newly redesigned website, created to enhance accessibility, simplify navigation, and better serve the information needs of voters, poll workers, and candidates ahead of the upcoming election cycle.

- Enhanced Accessibility: The site now features screen reader-friendly formatting, improved mobile responsiveness, and consistent, clear headings.
- Quick Access to Tools: Prominent links to key tools such as the Voter Lookup and Absentee Ballot Portal.
- Election Countdown Clock: A visual reminder of the number of days until the next election to help voters stay informed and prepared.
- Expanded FAQs: Accordion-style Frequently Asked Questions sections address common inquiries in a compact and easy-to-navigate format.
The improvements are designed to reduce confusion, increase voter confidence, and make it easier for all residents, including first-time voters and individuals using assistive technology to participate in the democratic process.
The site also includes a dedicated section for individuals interested in becoming poll workers, with information on qualifications, training, responsibilities, and how to apply. With the 2026 elections approaching, the Board of Elections encourages qualified individuals to get involved.
