About 135,400 North Carolina voters cast ballots on the first day of in-person early voting Thursday.
The turnout was on par with the nearly 136,500 voters who cast ballots on the first day of in-person early voting in 2018.
Over the past couple of days, the State Board of Elections has received numerous calls from voters across North Carolina who are confused or angered by mailers that include information, sometimes inaccurate, about whether they voted in the 2018 or 2020 elections.
The State Board of Elections today released detailed guidance aimed at ensuring all voters can safely and securely cast their ballot and election officials can perform their duties free of harassment, intimidation, and interference.
Beginning Friday, September 9, North Carolina’s county boards of elections will begin mailing absentee ballots to voters who request them for the 2022 general election.
