2008 Primary Race--A Lot More is at Stake Than the Presidential Nomination
North Carolina's primary elections also will determine the nominees for US Senate seats, the state's governor, lieutenant governor, commissioner of labor, treasurer and various judgeships (NC is a state where judges are elected, not appointed).
Because the candidates for so many offices are being determined, it's important to brush up on who you will be voting for before you get to your polling place: informational material other than sample ballots will not be available inside your polling place.
One-Stop Early Voting
One-Stop, no excuse voting is available to all Raleigh-Durham area voters. The early voting period starts nineteen days before the election and ends three days before the election.Voters who are eligible to vote, but who haven't yet registered, can now register to vote and cast their ballots on the same day. However, they must do so at their local one-stop polling place during the early voting period. Unregistered voters will not be able to register on the election day itself, so they must get their votes in early.
