This week is the last for early voting ahead of the primary on Tuesday. North Carolina holds semi-closed primaries. This means registered Republicans, Democrats and Libertarians must vote with their affiliated party, but unaffiliated voters may choose any ballot. Experts say those unaffiliated voters have become the largest group of voters in our state.
This week marks the last day of classes and the beginning of early voting. For many UNC students they’re now juggling studying for exams, graduation, moving out of their residence halls and finding time to vote.
