Tuesday, March 3 is Primary Election Day in North Carolina, and the 2026 races are a wide field of elected positions, strong platforms and viable candidates. Polls opened at 6:30 a.m. and will close at 7:30 p.m.
This page will provide real-time results and updates throughout Election Night, accompanied by 97.9 The Hill WCHL’s on-air coverage and updates on 97.9 The Hill and Chapelboro.com’s Facebook, Instagram, X, and Bluesky pages. Tonight’s broadcast of UNC men’s basketball’s game vs. Clemson will preempt radio coverage of the elections until 10 p.m., when an Election Night Special hosted by Aaron Keck begins.
