North Carolina elections officials continue to receive complaints and questions about mass mailings and text messages to voters about the November 8 general election. The State and county boards of elections are not sending these. They come from private political groups.
N.C. voters wishing to cast their ballot by mail in the 2022 general election have until 5 p.m. Tuesday, November 1 to request a ballot.
About 135,400 North Carolina voters cast ballots on the first day of in-person early voting Thursday.

The State Board of Elections will hold a remote meeting beginning at 12:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 20, 2022.
