RALEIGH, N.C. — Fall elections in hundreds of North Carolina municipalities are picking up as early in-person voting begins for mayoral races and city council seats.
The State Board of Elections says over 460 cities, towns and villages are conducting elections that culminate Nov. 7 in places like Charlotte, Chapel Hill, Durham and Fayetteville. All but 80 of them provide early voting that begins Thursday and runs through Nov. 4. Mail-in absentee voting had already started in those early-vote locales.
Some municipalities held primary or general elections in September and October. Voters in those races were among the first to have to comply with the state’s new photo identification requirement, which was upheld by theState elections Executive Director Karen Brinson Bell said this week that most voters so far this year have been able to present qualifying IDs, although some have used the exception form to cast a ballot.
Citizens who live where early voting is happening can also register to vote and cast a ballot at voting sites through what’s called same-day registration.
