New voter requirements will start with the 2016 presidential election. However, beginning this year poll officials will ask (but not require) North Carolina voters to provide a N.C. photo identification card. N.C. voters are not required to provide identification until 2016.
As of January 3, 2014, the North Carolina State Division of Motor Vehicles has started issuing FREE photo ID cards to citizens with no other form of identification.

North Carolina Outreach Efforts (from the NCBOE website):
Beginning with the 2014 primary, county boards of elections will begin educating voters about the new photo ID requirements as voters present to vote during the early voting period or on the day of the primary or election. All voters will be asked whether they have acceptable photo ID and for those voters who indicate they do not have acceptable photo ID, the voter will be asked to sign an acknowledgement they do not have any form of photo ID that will be acceptable for purposes of voting. Voters may also complete an online survey to inform us that they do not have acceptable photo ID. Using these resources, the State Board of Elections and the county boards of elections will reach out to these voters to ensure they can obtain proper photo ID before 2016.
