ORANGE COUNTY – Day five of Orange County’s early voting saw the most ballots cast yet, but the numbers are still way down.

On Wednesday, 118 people went to the polls taking the total to 535. However, that’s still about half as many people as were voting at this time in 2011.

Polls are open Monday to Friday through November 1, and on Saturday November 2. To read about all the candidates running in the Carrboro, Chapel Hill, and Hillsborough municipal elections and the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board election, click here.
