North Carolinaʼs early voting centers see record-breaking crowds this election season (with hundreds of locations spread across the statesʼ 100 counties) the turnout numbers are sky-high
The statesʼ election data shows impressive results - more people voted early in-person than during the last major election cycle: over 3.7 million voters have already made their way to polling stations. Karen Brinson Bell the State Board of Elections Executive Director shared these up-to-date numbers which topped previous records
The 17-day early-voting window brought non-stop activity to voting sites statewide; its worth noting that the previous record of 3.63 million early in-person votes has been surpassed even before the final countdown began. This turn-out shows how many North Carolinians prefer to cast their ballots ahead of election day: the numbers keep growing as centers remain open through the weekend
