Curbside voting
Another feature Buncombe County Election Services offers is curbside voting for those who are unable to go inside the voting location due to age or disability.

Returning an Absentee Ballot:
The deadline to return the completed absentee ballot is Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022, at 5 p.m. However, voters are encouraged to return the ballot as early as possible. You may return it to us in one of the following ways:
By mail: Absentee ballots may be mailed to P.O. Box 7468 Asheville, NC 28802. Ballots must be postmarked on or before Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022, and received by Nov. 14th.
At an Early Voting site: Absentee ballots may be returned to an Early Voting site during the Early Voting period, but not at a polling location on the day of the General Election. Ballots returned at an Early Voting site must be delivered to the election official at the help desk station.
In person: Absentee ballots may be returned in person to our office at 59 Woodfin Place, Monday – Friday, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Absentee ballots may only be returned by the voter or the voter’s near relative or legal guardian or, if you are not the voter or the voter’s near relative or legal guardian, the voter requested their assistance returning their ballot due to disability.
